Mzuzu youth postpones its passport demonstrations: Says Chakwera’s presence raises security concerns
The Mzuzu Youth Caucus has postponed its demonstrations that were planned for Thursday, March 7th, 2024 due to security concerns.
In a statement released by the youth grouping, the postponement has been arrived at during a stakeholders meeting where it was agreed that the presence of the head of state in the north has created a political tension.
“The presence of His Exellency the President, in the northern region has created a politically charged environment.
Consequently, our gathering has the potential to provoke uncivilized and misguided political figures, leading to violence in their pursuit of political milestone, ” reads part of the statement.
Meanwhile, the demonstrations, whose objective was to demand the immediate resumption of the printing of passports and reduction of passport fees will take place next week Thursday, March 14th 2024.
