Dzaleka refugee camp

The Malawi government through the Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security Grace Chiumia has insisted that it will soon move all refugees from Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Dowa to the Northern Region district of Karonga.

Government officially announced its plans to relocate Dzaleka Refugee Camp from Dowa to Karonga in the Northern part of Malawi last year in May.

Grace Chiumia
Chiumia has confirmed of the news.

Concerned people from Karonga protested the decision saying the move will lead to insecurity in the area.

Making his contribution to the midterm budget review statement in Parliament in Lilongwe, Member of Parliament for Karonga Central Frank Mwenefumbo said people of Karonga are not happy with the intention of government and UNHCR to relocate Dzaleka Refugee Camp to Karonga.

But in her response, Chiumia said government will go ahead with the relocation of Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Dowa to Katiri in Karonga.

Chiumia said the decision has been arrived at since the project received overwhelming support from a special committee headed by Paramount Chief Kyungu of the district.

  1. Koma ndiye kukasiya kutchire kumpoto?, mwaganiza bwanji a boma ,ambiri amapanga business Ku mponera komaso mu Lilongwe ndiye kumpoto akachitako chiani ngakhale atumbuka amathawako.

  2. These thieve in government are just after money that is given by UNHCR.The so-called refugees are coming from well-off countries than Malawi.It must be noted that in their countries of origin,there are no wars at the moment.These people are simply economic migrants PERIOD.

    For how long shall we be hosting them?For as long as there is no donor funds to supplement our recurrent budget?Nonsense.

  3. They can be moved to anywhere space can accommodate. Rehabilitate Dzeleka Prison buildings to ease congestion in other Prisons. I don’t understand the reason why these Prisons where closed, when it was an Administration that made these places almost like Ghost towns. Closing served no purpose but instead created serious congestion in Prisons that made inmates more at risk to transmittable diseases, so it was like cruelty to sortout cruelty.

  4. I want to testify to the world how i got cured from HIV positive. For the past 5 years i have spent a lot of money in buying anti-retrovirus drugs just to strengthen my immune system and keep me healthy, until one faithful day, I read an article on the internet about an Herbalist doctor call Dr zuka save, who uses herbs and roots to cure all kind of diseases. Though i never believed he can cure HIV, but i decided to give it a try. Then i contacted the herbalist doctor and told he about my HIV status. He prepared a herbal medicine and send it to me through courier company and i took it as instructed.14days after he told me to go for a checkup,, i went to the hospital to run another HIV test, the result came out and i was tested HIV negative. I’m using this medium to say thank you Doctor and i will forever be grateful for what he has done for me.You can also reach him on email: [email protected] or whatsapp he on +2348146005390, Thanks so much..

  9. even if you relocate the camp to karonga, it wont help to keep them there as they will still move to whereever they want to stay.. malamulo athu are very weak, you can find some of these reguees in every corner of Malawi.

  10. U will create insecurity not to Karonga only but the whole Malawi.Refugees will enter the porous borders without problems in Karonga and if they comit any crime run and hide into the neibhouring country before our security enforcers do something.Wait and see,u will remember my words.
