malawi erupts in anti-government protests, page-2

Looks like things are getting worse in Malawi...hope they dont nationalise (or revoke licences on) their natural resources like some other countries have done...The Govt is now Officially Unstable and a worry for Companies with resource assets in Malawi. It would be good to get a statement from RSL on the ramifications of this instability on RSL's significant Malawi assets later next week as things develop.
