Human rights group Inua Advocacy spoke up about refugee problems on World Refugee Day. The organization worries about how some countries treat people who escape war and danger. Rich nations close their borders and make it harder for refugees to find safety.
Malawi welcomes refugees even when money is tight. The country earned the nickname Warm Heart of Africa because people help others in need. Ubuntu spirit guides how Malawians treat refugees as family members rather than strangers.
Recent reports upset Inua Advocacy about Congolese people seeking safety. Immigration officers tricked asylum seekers and moved them from Karonga to Chitipa. Officials promised to take them to Dzaleka Refugee Camp but pushed them back across the Tanzania border instead.
Police arrested more refugees in Mzuzu and forced them into Zambia through Rumphi. These actions broke both local and world rules that protect displaced people. Similar problems happened two years ago but never got fixed properly.
Inua Advocacy wants the government to investigate these incidents right away. The group believes Malawi should lead other countries in helping refugees find safety. CEO Innocent Magambi says the nation must keep protecting vulnerable people when other countries turn away.
