Malawi honors Mozambique’s President Nyusi

Malawi has conferred an honorary Doctorate of Philosophy in International Affairs and Diplomacy (Honoris Causa) to Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi. Malawi's President Lazarus Chakwera presented the award Wednesday at the University of Malawi in Zomba district. He says it confirms warm relations which Nyusi has championed between the people of Malawi and Mozambique. However, critics questioned the criteria used to confer the honor, pointing to ongoing abuse and assaults facing Malawians crossing into Mozambique. Lameck Masina reports from Blantyre.
