  • 42 China-Malawi Relations
    Issue 4 AFRICAN December 2014 EAST-ASIAN AFFAIRS THE CHINA MONITOR China-Malawi relations: an analysis of trade patterns and development impli- cations by Theodora C. Thindwa* Centre for Security Studies, Mzuzu University Mzuzu, Malawi Abstract As China is emerging as a force to reckon with in the 21st century it has formed economic and political partnerships with a number of countries especially in Africa, including Malawi. There are contending views on China’s role in Africa with some viewing it as a neo-colonial power and others as Africa’s development partner. This paper investigates how China-Malawi relationship has contributed to economic development in Malawi. This limits the scope of the study to Chinese Government investments directly dealing with the Malawi Government. The article analyses Chi- na-Malawi trade patterns, the number of jobs created by Chinese investments and other contributions by China. Exploratory research design, aspects of descriptive research and mixed methods of analysis is employed to uncover the nature of China-Malawi relations between 2007 and 2012. Using secondary data sources and interviews with principal trade officers, the study found both positive and negative trends. The level of Malawian exports to China is low compared to Chinese exports to Malawi. This entails trade losses for Malawi which in turn has implications for development and also for the society that *Theodora C.

  • MALAWI Government Releases Many Political Prisoners Jack Mapanje
    April 24, 1991 MALAWI Government releases many political prisoners Jack Mapanje and others still held Africa Watch welcomes the release of 87 political prisoners in Malawi, including some 25 held under presidential detention orders. The releases represent a significant step by the government towards complying with Malawi's legal obligations under the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, which it ratified a year ago. However, in other respects Malawi's performance still falls far short of the standards required by the Charter. In particular Africa Watch remains concerned about the fate of about 19 prisoners still detained without charge at Mikuyu prison, who include the internationally-renowned poet Jack Mapanje. The release of political prisoners began at the beginning of January, when George Mtafu, Margaret Marango Banda, Blaise Machila and William Masiku were set free: George Mtafu, who had been held without charge at Chichiri Prison, is Malawi's only neurosurgeon. He was arrested in February 1989 because he had criticized discrimination against civil servants who originated from Malawi's northern region, in particular the forcible redeployment of school teachers to their district of origin. Margaret Marango Banda, a former announcer with the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation, was an official of the Chitukuko Cha Amai mu Malawi (CCAM), the national women's organization. She is believed to have criticized corruption in the CCAM, which is headed by Cecilia Tamanda Kadzamira, the country's "Official Hostess." She was arrested in July 1988 and held without charge at Zomba Prison. Blaise Machila used to be a lecturer in English at Chancellor College in the University of Malawi.

Every effort has been made to ensure that credits accurately comply with information supplied. Published by SEAMEO INNOTECH www.seameo-innotech.org Printed in the Philippines First printing, 2014 FOREWORD Education for sustainable development (ESD) is one of the central themes of SEAMEO INNOTECH’s 8th Five-Year Development Plan. As a concrete contribution to this broad theme, the Center embarked on developing a regional toolkit that focuses on more specific sub-themes: education in emergencies (EiE) and disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM). EiE and DRRM are two of the main pillars of ESD contributing to the goal of creating resilient and sustainable school communities. UNESCO describes the strategic role of education for disaster reduction as addressing three key activity areas: 1. saving lives and preventing injuries should a hazardous event occur; 2. preventing interruptions to the provision of education, or to ensure its swift resumption in the event of an interruption; and 3. developing a resilient population that is able to reduce the economic, social and cultural impacts should a hazardous event occur.

  • The UN Intervention Brigade: Extinguishing Conflict Or Adding Fuel to the Flames?
    The UN Intervention Brigade: Extinguishing Conflict or Adding Fuel to the Flames? Jay Benson | June 2016 A One Earth Future Discussion Paper The UN Intervention Brigade: Extinguishing Conflict or Adding Fuel to the Flames? A One Earth Future Discussion Paper Jay Benson June 2016 ii | The UN Intervention Brigade: Extinguishing Conflict or Adding Fuel to the Flames? ABSTRACT The authorization of the Intervention Brigade (IB) in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has sparked controversy in the international community over the value of such deployments for UN peace operations. Outlined here are several key conditions which can help determine whether this model can be successfully deployed as a tool for civilian protection outside the DRC context. The analysis focuses on four key considerations which need to be examined in order to determine if the success of the IB in the DRC can be replicated—and its failures avoided—in other contexts. These include: 1. The targeted armed group’s method of resource allocation 2. The speed of deployment 3. The resources and capabilities of the IB force 4. Steps taken to reduce post-intervention violence against civilians Though far from a universal solution, under the right circumstances the IB model of peace enforcement may have the potential to be effective as a tool for civilian protection.
