Malawi – Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution

Exercise increased caution

to Malawi due to crime and unrest.

Crime 
Violent crime such as theft, burglary, armed robbery, and assault is common. The capabilities of the Malawi Police Service are growing, but its resources and ability to deter and investigate crimes are limited. They also struggle to assist victims and apprehend criminals. 

Unrest 
Demonstrations may occur more often because of political issues and events like elections. Tear gas is often used at these protests, and roads might be blocked.
