In response to Monday's tragic plane crash event, the United States Embassy in Lilongwe has issued a security alert for American citizens residing or traveling in Malawi.
The embassy has advised caution due to multiple funerals and related activities scheduled at Bingu National Stadium in Area 47 on Sunday, June 16th.
These events are expected to draw large crowds that may lead to congestion and potentially volatile situations due to heavy emotions surrounding the loss of lives from the recent air tragedy.
The embassy urges American nationals to stay clear of these areas during the memorial services out of concern for their safety amidst possible overcrowding and violent outbreaks.
In addition to avoiding these high-risk zones on Sunday, Americans are encouraged by embassy officials to remain vigilant by monitoring local media channels for real-time updates on the situation's development.
The government of Malawi has not said anything concerning the statement made by the American Embassy yet.
