the demonstrations that occurred yesterday 17th January 2012 purely show the following
1. democracy at work
at the end of the day Malawi has shown that we can conduct peaceful and matured show of divergent views and voice them as such without any problems. this is a total contrast to what happened on the July 20 2012.
2. national wide demonstration needs proper condition
the 17th jan demonstration could not be called national wide but rather Blanytre based demonstration calling a placard of national issues. it could be urged that there were people in Mzuzu ( northern part of Malawi) or Lilongwe , the capital city of Malawi but the numbers testify.
3. malawi need people of courage
against all odd the organizers were able to do what they did . this was dispite political , social and even religious pressure not to. Bravo to you.
4. Malawians could be taken for a ride
a footnote is that some people supported the very issues on 20 July 2012 yet they were demonstrating against them on 17 jan 2013
