The 2011 Malawi protests were protests aimed at winning political and economic reforms or concessions from the government of Malawi.[6] On 20 July, Malawian organisations protested against perceived poor economic management and poor governance by President Bingu wa Mutharika and his Democratic Progressive Party.[7] After the first two days of protests, 18 deaths, 98 serious injuries and 275 arrests had been reported.[1] Further demonstrations were organised on 17 August and 21 September[8] The first protest was later cancelled due to the intervention of a UN representative in initiating a dialogue; however, the talks broke down with more protests planned for Red Wednesday through a national vigil.[9][10]
