Opposition official tells govt to reverse decision to have Malawi mission in Jerusalem
An opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) official has told the government to reverse its decision to have the country’s foreign mission in Jerusalem.
Sheikh Imran Mtenje, who is DPP regional governor for East, said the government would be stalking Muslims in the country if it goes ahead to open an embassy in the disputed Jerusalem.
Palestine takes Jerusalem as its future capital city.
“Malawi should not be fuelling the enmity between Israel and Palestine,” he said.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Eisenhower Mkaka recently said the government is going ahead with plans to open the embassy in Jerusalem despite both the international and local uproar and criticisms.
During the same news conference, the party’s spokesperson Brown Mpinganjira said the Tonse Alliance government has not delivered on any of its campaign promises but is using state machinery to intimidate DPP supporters.
Mpinganjira, who was accompanied by party National Organising Secretary Chimwemwe Chipungu and Administrative Secretary Francis Mphepo, said former president Peter Mutharika’s bank accounts remain frozen although he has not been charged by any competent court and that to date, Mutharika does not have a government house or government vehicles as provided for by the laws of Malawi.
Mpinganjira claims all this is aimed at killing the DPP.

GOT IT???
Wether u like it or not , Chakwera is opening an embassy in Jerusalem. We are not scared to die any more coz even those so called ISIS are going to die.
We are all going to die but let’s achieve what God has proclaimed that must be done.
Fear not, go ahead. God of Abraham Issac and Jacob will crush out any obstacles. Our God is more powerful than that of Evil. Western Jerusalem belongs to Israel not other way round.
For a first it might be more important to sort out the existing Malawian embassies with professional and helpful staff and put systems in place that work.. The buildings in Brussels, Berlin and London can also use a face lift and some serious renovations.
Shouldn’t DPP and our Muslim brothers and sisters engage some Arab countries, such as Saudi Arabia, which have realised that ignoring Israel is a waste of time and have, therefore, decided to establish diplomatic relations with the Jewish state?
What I read from this is DPP fanning Moslems led violence. Fortunately Malawians know DPP’s weaknesses and will not take kindly any moves by the party to disrupt Tonse Alliance government’s efforts to build new Malawi.
What’s our benefit from Palestine if I may ask? We are going to Jerusalem that’s the capital of Israel
Anthu muzikonda kufuna kudziwa chiyambi chazomwe zikutchuka panthawiyo

Can you just focus in rebuilding DPP which is on the verge of extinction!!!
We need this Embassy Mr Predident. Anthu saziwa the meaning of having an embassy in another country that’s why they are arguing mosazitsana. Please also get in talks with DRC we need an embassy here…tikumavutika ma viza timachita kupita ku zambia or south africa when we want to travel to Congo
He thinks that once they start, he will be safe in sanjika. Dude ISIS is not a joke
Yes the Embassy should be in Jerusalem. This is the capital of Jews in the Bible. Palestinians are not mentioned anywhere in the Hollybook
It seems the Palestinians also want diplomatic missions. So why are people running away from them? Is it because they like war as what their muslim brothers are saying?
Choose your battles wisely, Mr. President. Don’t let religious zealotry get into your head when deciding whether to place the embassy in Tel Aviv vs Jerusalem. Tel Aviv is good enough. Even the most powerful nations in this world have their embassies in Tel Aviv. Please don’t follow Trump. He’s a narcissistic loser.
ISIS is much closer to us than you think, my man. Just ask Maputo if you think it’s all child play. You don’t have to provoke these irrational groups to be a man (h/t to Kenny Rogers).
Don’t confuse people. Palestine claims Eastern Jerusalem and not Western Jerusalem. Malawi is opening an embassy in Western Jerusalem which is not claimed by the Palestinians, so we are not causing any trouble. Besides, we have nothing to do with their struggle. We are doing this for our own betterment.
we need that embassy in Jerusalem. Mr President, go ahead and open a Malawian embassy in Jerusalem
