A peace organization wants Malawi's government to help citizens trapped in the Middle East fighting. Edwards Chaka leads the Federation for National Peace and Development and spoke about protecting Malawians in Israel and Iran. The group worries about people's safety as violence grows between the two countries.
Chaka said Malawi must work with both governments to keep communication open with its citizens abroad. He believes the country should evacuate people if needed to keep them safe. The organization thinks local authorities must act quickly before conditions worsen.
The conflict could spread and hurt developing nations like Malawi through economic problems. Food shortages might happen if supply chains break down during wider fighting. Chaka pointed to how the Ukraine war made fertilizer harder to find as an example.
Malawi depends heavily on farming and needs fertilizer imports to grow crops. The peace group warns that distant wars can still affect local food supplies. Leaders should prepare for possible shortages before they become serious problems.
