He said Lhomwe people are being treated as \u2018refugees or illegal immigrants\u2019 in their own country.<\/p>\n<p>Among others, Mulli claimed that there has been mass unlawful arrest and dismissal of all of Lhomwe people in senior positions in government departments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe {Lhomwes} are suffering in our own country, it seems we have a certain group of people who are more Malawians than us,\u201d said Mulli while calling upon the government to treat all Malawians equally regardless of race, culture and place of origin.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cWe cannot continue to be living in fear in our own country; you can arrest and persecute us the way you want but we are not afraid, we will always forge ahead in unity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both Presidential Spokesperson Anthony Kasunda and Government spokesperson Gospel Kazako were not immediately available for their response.
