April 15, 2025 • By JN Reporter

Holocaust survivor Mrs. Tribich reflects on her experiences 80 years after the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.

Malawi’s debt crisis deepens as aid cuts hurt
Malawi’s debt crisis deepens as aid cuts hurt

April 15, 2025 • By AFP

Malawi, a country of 21 million people with over two-thirds living in extreme poverty, is struggling with economic instability due to reduced foreign aid and mounting national debt. The country has lost an estimated 5% of its GDP annually since 2013 due to reduced donor assistance, and public sector debt has risen to 93% of GDP. The economic woes are attributed to structural weaknesses, fiscal mismanagement, and a lack of diversification in export earnings. The government's coping measures, including cutting public spending and raising taxes, have been unpopular, and protests have erupted in several cities. President Lazarus Chakwera has pleaded for debt relief, and the issue is a priority for the G20 group of leading economies. Experts suggest that developing countries like Malawi need more borrowing to invest, but their debt is too expensive, and a review of ratings agencies' assessments of debt risk is needed to unlock lower-cost private capital.

This move is typically reserved for trips to countries like China and Russia, where electronic surveillance is common. The decision reflects the deteriorating relationship between the US and Europe, particularly since President Trump's recent actions. The EU has updated its travel recommendations to include precautions against cyber-espionage, and some European countries have altered their travel advice for citizens visiting the US. A European Commission spokesperson did not deny the report, but stated that the commission has updated its country-specific travel recommendations to reflect the latest cybersecurity threats.
