Malawi has fallen into the resource-curse trap by failing to protect the rights and livelihoods of people living in budding mining communities, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has said.
The global human rights body in its latest report observed that families living near coal and uranium mining operations in northern Malawi faced serious problems with water, food, and housing.
"They are left in the dark about health and other risks from mining," said HRW in its 96-page report titled, 'They Destroyed Everything': Mining and Human Rights in Malawi.'
