Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Forum for National Development (FND) has issued a statement calling on government to intervene and rein in a breeding culture of hatred targeted at Malawians of Asian origin which might lead to \u201chuge repercussions in future\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the statement published in the mainstream media as an advertorial, FND says it is \u201csaddened with gross human rights violations being perpetrated to Malawians of Asian origin, their community and businesses \u2014 which is emanating from racial profiling, hate, blackmail and extortion scheme\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are becoming worried of how Malawians of Asian origin, commonly called \u2018amwenye\u2019, are being targeted with hate messages, abuse and are a victim of well-orchestrated blackmail and extortion scheme,\u201d says the statement signed by chairperson Bright Kampaaundi and national coordinator Fryson Chodzi.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are even worried that any attempt for them to clear their names and pursue justice is frowned upon by the public. All of a sudden, it seems there is a general consensus that \u2018amenye\u2019 are the source of all Malawians\u2019 problems, and any accusation leveled upon them is gospel truth \u2014 in fact, they are guilty as charged on any case until proven innocent.\u201d<\/p>\n

FND maintains that even when competent courts find them innocent, they are perceived as not really innocent \u201cbut might have bribed their way to freedom\u201d.<\/p>\n

Thus FND believes \u201cit\u2019s time the country initiated a dialogue among the races to protect these Malawians, lest we are breeding a hate nation which will have huge repercussions in future\u201d.<\/p>\n

Its says every citizen has the right to be heard and has the right to due process of the law and above all, any suspect is innocent until proven guilty \u2014 but this is not the case in as far as Malawians of Asian origin are concerned.<\/p>\n

FND also says the social media has exacerbated the racism against these citizenry, which has become a fertile ground for hate towards their business community, saying this development can dangerously move towards labelling all all of them \u201cas corrupt, crooked and thieves\u201d.<\/p>\n

It contends that social media has become a platform for character assassination, extortion and blackmail, where several individuals have used the non-regulated platform attack these citizens with the hope that they will just \u201cpay up in order not to be featured in bad light on social media\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cMalawi has freedom of speech but responsibility towards the same is where your freedom must not injure another person\u2019s. Each and every day, there are social media individuals making strong allegations against certain individuals and their businesses but when called to substantiate them, they end up issuing public apologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnowing that there is growing resentment towards them, the personalities on social media have made Malawians of Asian origin as an easy target for false, slanderous and malicious allegations.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrangely, as a country, we are convincing each other that all Malawians of Asian origin ndi obwera (foreigners) due to texture of their skin \u2014 hence we seem to be justified in our attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

FND adds that people attack Indians when they acquire land and even when they get a business contract from the government \u2014 the assumption being that \u201ccorruption must have taken place\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are more than convinced that the term obwera is derived from the colour of their skin rather than the truth and historical facts. In this country, there are \u2018amwenye\u2019 who are more Malawian than we black Malawians.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome came to Malawi before it was even called Nyasaland \u2014 way back before other tribes who feel more Malawian came to the country. Without fear of contradiction, they arrived in Malawi before the Ngonis and Alomwes and other tribes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thus describing all \u2018amwenye ngati obwera\u2019 is racial profiling which leads to dangerous conflict and FND says this must stop. FND takes cognizance that corruption in this country is deep rooted and worrisome but this an undeniable social ill is across all tribes, races and gender\u201d.<\/p>\n

It also says it is an undeniable fact that, in Malawi, people who have monopolised businesses and access to land is across all races, tribes and gender while urging the state security agents to investigate and bring to book any person or businesses that might have corruptly acquired land or got favoured for business contacts and opportunities.<\/p>\n

Besides that, even though Malawi has a willing seller and willing buyer policy in most private land deals, it is not an issue when a black Malawian acquires huge plots of land \u201cbut when the other race does the same, we cry foul, corruption and insults\u201d.<\/p>\n

FND also observes that when a black Malawian is arrested due to tax evasion or tax fraud, it\u2019s business as usual but when it concerns a Malawian of Asian origin, the entire community is branded as corrupt.<\/p>\n

FND warns that racial profiling grows like cancer until such a time when it explodes, saying \u201cthis growing hate towards other races \u2014 if it continues to be nurtured \u2014 will one day explode and create conflict in Malawi\u201d.<\/p>\n

It maintains that not all Malawians of Asian origin are corrupt or involved in fraud, saying \u201cany whistle blowing must not be accompanied with hate message towards a certain race, tribe or creed of people.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time we put effective whistle blower programmes among the security agencies than these social media platform which has become fertile ground for extortion and blackmail.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge the government to design and develop a whistle blower protection policy which will allow people with genuine and sincere issues to expose them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile it is a fact that there are some \u2018amwenye\u2019 who might come into conflict with the law in regards to their business dealings, blanket categorization of all is a worst form of racial profiling.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the society of Malawian of Asian origin, just like any other society there, will be bad apples and that does not make everyone to be equally bad.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our sincere hope that the proposed engagement and national dialogue of coexistence among tribes and races will be given due consideration. Should the platform arise, the endgame should be multi-sectoral and across all faith groups.\u201d<\/p>\n
