Malawi President Peter Mutharika on Tuesday fired the country’s army chief whose men have in recent months protected demonstrators protesting against the fraudulent election that returned the president to office.
A statement from the presidency said said General Vincent Nundwe was replaced by the former air force commander, Major General Andrew Namanthanga.
