Malawian President Bingu wa Mutharika demanded an end to a three-day strike organized by civil-society groups protesting against government policies and continuing fuel and foreign-currency shortages.
“You can’t bully me into submission,” Mutharika said on the state-owned Malawi Broadcasting Corp. television today. “Government can’t be taken to ransom by a few disgruntled individuals hiding in the name of civil society. If you stop people from going to work, I will deal with you.”
