What happens when everything that could go wrong does? In Malawi bad weather, poor governance and profiteering have combined to create a desperate situation. The international community faces the dilemma of how to react when people face starvation due partly to the failures of their own government. In the meantime, people are dying. "Since this hunger started I have never seen a truck from the government leaving maize," says Nurse Sister Modesta. "If nothing is coming these people are going to die."

  • I wish I were the minister of finanance I could change things I owe my education to Great Britain....

  • @Cheezmaster r u one of those man eaters

  • I heard my elders say people have to starve to death in order for us to live in luxury. So I beat them to death and took their wealth, because I have to live in luxury even more.

  • lol..actually we r in the same class..

  • Although there is truth behind what is reported, the ethnocentric manner in which this has been made diminshes its value. Particularly the cut with the EU commissioner describing good governance without democracy as "primitive" should not have been included.

    It is a shame, however, that "The Chronicle" is no longer in circulation in Malawi.

  • Which criminal is responsible for all this? Bakili are you watching!
