Exhumed bodies in Mtangatanga Forest Reserve, Malawi

 Malawian police found four bodies in a woods near a mass grave where many others were unearthed on Wednesday. All of them are men aged from 25 to 40. They were probably smuggled from Ethiopia, through Malawi, to South Africa. It seems like that because only between January and September, authorities arrested 221 illegal migrants, 186 of whom were Ethiopians. It is assumed that the cause of them is suffocation but to wait for an autopsy for an official affirmation about the actual reason for death. 

It is really depressing, startling and horrifying that people die in a way like that. They are looking for chances for having a higher quality of life. They are trying to get to a place where they can live better than in their motherland. Financial problems force them to this type of transportation, but some of them are not gonna make it to economic and living opportunities. Unfortunately, this is a huge difficulty observed in poor African countries, and it will probably not be solved quickly.
