Malawi President Warns of Action Against Protest Organizers

Lameck Masina

   BLANTRYE, MALAWI - Malawi President Peter Mutharika has warned of
   unspecified action against the leaders of violent protests following
   his narrow recent election victory.

   Mutharika, whose legitimacy is being challenged by key opposition
   leaders, said during the country's 55th Independence Day celebration in
   Blantyre on Saturday that he has learned the protests have nothing to
   do with election results, but are aimed at toppling his government. The
   protests organizers dispute this and say they cannot be intimidated.
