Malawi suspends all private radio stations

The Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (Macra) has suspended all broadcasts by private radio stations in Malawi as riots and protests erupted in parts of the country over the arrest of former president Dr Bakili Muluzi at Lilongwe airport after he returned from Great Britain. Mr Muluzi is accused of planning a coup d’état against incumbent President Bingu wa Mutharika.
