This can't help but make people wonder, the same recipe and the same rhythm, but I don't know if it's the same group of people, when was it so dangerous to be president? What kind of oil and water can Malawi, one of the least developed countries in the world, have?
What everyone wants to know most is what type of aircraft is produced in which country this aircraft is produced. Secondly, what everyone wants to know is whether this country is also in the anti-American camp, and what is the relationship with China?
Malawi is an unknown country known to the world, the full name of the "Republic of Malawi", it is a landlocked country in southeast Africa, surrounded by Tanzania, Mozambique, and Zambia. Malawi takes its name from Lake Malawi, the third largest lake in Africa, covering an area of 30,000 square kilometres and home to many species of freshwater fish that are unique in the world. Malawi has a land area of 118,400 square kilometers and a population of 19.6 million.
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world with an agrarian economy and a very backward economy, with about 86% of the country's population engaged in agriculture. The country is one of the major tobacco producers in Africa, and tobacco exports account for 70% of the country's foreign exchange earnings.
Historically, Malawi was an overseas colony of the United Kingdom until its independence from the United Kingdom on July 6, 1964, when it became a sovereign state, but it was still a Commonwealth country. In the last century, Britain has long relied on the aid of the former suzerain, but after entering this century, Britain has been unable to protect itself, and because its global strategy has basically shrunk back home, it has given up aid to Malawi.
Since the mid-90s, the Malaysian government has pursued privatization and poverty alleviation programs, but the economy has been hampered by Western accusations of corruption and aid freezes, which has made it even more impoverished.
Since President Chakwera took office in 2020, the Singapore government has attached great importance to economic development, hoping to focus on solving the problem of power shortage, accelerating the construction of water conservancy infrastructure such as water supply, and focusing on improving the level of agricultural development.
Politically, it is relatively harmonious with neighboring countries, cooperates more with each other, and has little value to the outside world, so there is no tendency or sense of existence.

In June 2022, the Malawi-Hunan Agricultural University Industry-University-Research Cooperation Base and the Malawi Offshore (China) Industrial Innovation and Exchange Center were unveiled in the Furong Block of Changsha Area of the Hunan Pilot Free Trade Zone; Since December 1 of the same year, China has implemented zero tariffs on 98% of products originating in Malawi. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China, under the guidance of the Belt and Road Initiative, the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) and China-Africa Cooperation Vision 2035, the two sides have maintained a strong and mutually beneficial bilateral relationship, witnessing many milestones in infrastructure construction, agriculture, trade, investment and humanitarian assistance.
On June 30, 2023, the 3rd China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo was held in Changsha, Hunan Province, and Malawi was one of the guest countries of the Expo.
Overall, the incumbent President Chakwera is a positive reformer, striving for greater international living space, and is committed to developing his own economy, and Vice President Chilima, who died in the crash, is the president's running mate and should be considered a political ally.
The official release said that it could not land at the airport due to weather conditions, and the control center ordered it to go to other airports, but lost contact with the control tower, and was later confirmed to have died in a crash.

That's all Brother Mao can share with you about this information, whether it's a conspiracy theory or not, it's really unbelievable that something has happened in the world recently, and if those-stirring sticks don't get rid of it, God won't be down-to-earth.
