Africa-Press – Malawi. It is no secret that Malawians have had enough drama from President Lazarus Chakwera’s Tonse Alliance government since day one. If it wasn’t COVID-19 gate then it was Hotelgate. If not this gate then, there was that other gate.
There came, Butcherygate succeeded by Pharmacygate of course there was Bridgingate in between. As if all these were not enough, boom! The mother of all Gates; suicide mission now!
Wait a minute, if Malawians thought they had seen it all, they were cheating themselves. Here is a scandal of the century that Malawians have to watch out from the Chakwera-led government. If anything, it is a scandal that every Malawian shall live to regret unless some miracle happens.
Malawi Government is sending over 200 youth to Israel, a country that is at war with Palestine where thousands of civilians are being massacred indiscriminately.
In the past 24 hours or so Malawian society has been shocked with some controversial news surrounding some Malawians who are bound to be airlifted to Israel to work in the farms, a story that government officials are failing to comment on.
Whether these desperate and jobless young Malawians are going to work in the farms or in combat, what is clear is that the mission is suicidal and that the Malawi government is being careless.
For records sake, since the beginning of the Israeli-Hamas war, Thailand which had thousands of its people working in the Middle Eastern country, has evacuated over 7,000 farm workers after 34 were reportedly massacred by Hamas. This mass evacuation is what has created a vacancy for Malawian young men and women to go and fill the gap.
While these unsuspecting young ones and their parents may be celebrating the seemingly “breakthrough”, the government should tread carefully as this could be another tragedy for foreign workers in Israel, and this time around Malawians. The Chakwera Tonse government should come out of its cocoon and address the nation, if anything this deal should be reviewed.
Unfortunately, desperate Malawian youths are too excited about travels without properly assessing the condition in Israel that Malawi Congress Party (MCP) media cadres are all over lauding Chakwera for offering employment to young people. Let’s hope, we are not going to witness another trapped Oman saga when all is said and done. Don’t say I never warned you.
