MALAWI (Nyasa Times) — Just under a month after police arrested over 100 Ethiopians for trying to illegally flee the country, another contingent of 62 Ethiopians has been nabbed in Mwanza district as it attempted to do likewise.
Mwanza Police Station Officer Joel Makomwa confirmed that police arrested the 62 refugees on Sunday as they headed for the Mwanza border.
He said the Ethiopians had fled from Dzaleka Refugee camp in Dowa and were on their way to South Africa via Mozambique.
The station officer explained that police were surprised with the foreigners as they walked towards the boarder.
“When approached they could not speak English so we arrested them and took them to our station,” he said.
The group is believed to be part of the over 100 Ethiopians who were arrested two weeks ago in Dedza as they headed for Dedza Boarder Post on their way to South Africa through Mozambique.

I really think the freedom would be gained only by the people of Ethiopia. The two aggressions of Italy were stopped by the people who were the heroes of the time.Where are the heroes of our time? what is going on? We Ethiopians are the only people who are refugees every where, our girls are maids in Arab houses, who are getting killed for defending their left over dignity.There are refugees harassed, killed and arrested in every corner of the world.Aids is eating Ethiopians in record level, weyane did all this to us.I just want to know what is wrong with us? where is our “KURAT”?
