Malawi army peace-keeping mission trip in limbo
There are at least 800 soldiers
expected to travel to the war-torn north central African state and the first group was expected to set out on Wednesday July 1, 2009, but on the word of our sources within the MDF, the group could not depart the country as there was no equipment to leave with.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said “according to UN prerequisite, government is required to buy armed vehicles, generators and other security equipment for the mission but Malawi is failing to comply with the conditions.
“Government is supposed to release a refundable sum of money, however we are told we are not going because there is no money,” disclosed one of the soldiers who is part of the Malawi peace-keepers that were supposed to take over from Polish army.
According to the source, UN inspectors were in the country few months ago to see how things were but “were surprised to find out that government was yet to procure the equipment, hence the trip was put on hold”
“All our preparations are over and an advance party of close to 200 soldiers was supposed to leave today. At the moment we don’t know whether we are going or not,” said the peace-keeper designate.
Malawian soldiers are regarded by the UN and the African Union (AU) as one of the most disciplined peace-keepers in the region.

Ladies and gentlemen I think this is not the right forum to discuss or debate this issue.As you might have noted, some people here have already started missing the point. I therefore would like to move a motion that, “Let matters of our security not be tabled in this forum anymore”. I BEG TO MOVE.
Iwe enafe azilamu athu ndi ma sergeant. Ine I dont want ayini to go to Chad. Azimayi ndi ana amavutika zedi pawokha. Kenako amayamba chiwerewere. Abambonso ku peacekeeping mishoniko sangakhale kopanda ka take away. Ndiye mapeto ake amapanga take away ka Edzi kukabweretsa mnyumba ikatha pisi mishoni. Tsono izi nzabwino? Tifere nkhondo ya eni ake?
Bingu sendere. Asilikali asapite ku Chad. Let the Chad people kill each other over oil. When the oil is finished peace will come.

Glad I came across a newspaper form africa malewi. The way I see the comments regarding the article above it seems many people are ignorant of the UN and its missions. I heard that internet in most african countries is accessed by rich, educated, people And if these comments are coming from those educated people there is need to school africa.
I cant explain here the benefit of contributing soldiers into UN mission, your country was lucky to be offered a chance of sending troops to chad.
You don’t need to school us about these useless wars.The world has has enough of its own problems than learning of MDF and UN thing.Animals KILL TO EAT,WHILE HUMAN BEING TO WASTE…NO MORE WARS…GLOBAL PEACE PLEASE.
PLEASE LET THEM GO!!!! .THEY ARE GOING TO BE EXPOSED TO DIFFERENT TYPE OF EQUIPMENT USED IN MODERN TIMES ,THAT WILL BE TO OUR ADVANTAGE. CHIFUKWATU MFUTI ZIMENE TIKUGWIRITSA NTCHITO KUNO KWATHU NDIZOPHERA AGALU ACHIWEWE MAYIKO ENA.
