Malawi has abandaned its recognition of the Polisario separatist front, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicates in a communiqué sent today to Yabiladi. The decision was announced on Friday 5th of May in Rabat by Malawi's top diplomat, Francis Kasail during a meeting that he had with Nasser Bourita, the same source reports. This is not the first time that the country makes such decision. In September 2008 Joyce Banda considered the same thing, the statement points out. In March 2014 though, Banda received the 'ambassador' of the Polisario at her office.
