President Lazarus Chakwera told the BBC he did not doubt the link but wanted to be led by more research.Mr Chakwera said there had been an unprecedented level of water-borne diseases since devastating floods last year which affected much of southern Malawi: We've never really had this type of outbreak in over 20 years, and even then, it wasn't at this scale.

U.S., China, Russian Officials on Charm Offensives in Africa?Top Chinese, Russian and American officials are scrambling to visit African nations and pledge their commitment to the world's fastest-growing continent, writes Anita Powell for VOA.

Her visit comes as President Joe Biden's administration aims to secure stronger ties with Africa. Barely six months after the Russian foreign minister's first African tour, two more trips are in the offing. Sergei Lavrov has visited South Africa at the start of a planned second African tour since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. On his July 2022 trip, Lavrov visited Egypt, Congo-Brazzaville, Uganda, and Ethiopia, also meeting the African Union leadership in Addis Ababa. Unconfirmed reports said that Lavrov might visit Eritrea as the last stop of his African tour that started in South Africa and also took him to eSwatini.
