Malawin varapresidentin katoaminen - etsinnät jatkuvat

Lentokoneonnettomuus - Malawi - Saulos Chilima

Malawin varapresidentti Saulos Chilima ja yhdeksän muuta ovat kadonneet sotilaskoneessa, joka menetti yhteyden radarilta. Etsinnät jatkuvat kiihkeinä.

Malawin varapresidentin, 51-vuotiaan Saulos Chiliman, ja yhdeksän muun henkilön kuljettama sotilaskone on hävinnyt maan pääkaupungista Lilongwesta. Kone lähti matkaan klo 9.17 aamulla ja oli tarkoitus laskeutua Mzuzu Internationalin lentokentälle, mutta se katosi jäljiltä. Malawin presidentti Lazarus Chakwera on ilmoittanut sotilaiden etsivän kadonnutta konetta vuoristoisista metsistä lähellä pohjoisen Malawin kaupunkia. Ilmailuviranomaiset menettivät yhteyden koneeseen sen kadotessa radarilta.

Etsinnät jatkuvat tiiviinä, ja pelastusoperaatiot jatkuvat, kunnes kadonnut sotilaskone ja sen matkustajat, mukaan lukien varapresidentti Saulos Klaus Chilima, löydetään. Sääolosuhteet vaikeuttavat tilannetta, ja itäisen Afrikan maan puolustusvoimat on nyt korkeassa valmiudessa varmistaakseen nopean toiminnan mahdollisen löydön tapahtuessa.

Malawin varapresidentti Saulos Chilima ja yhdeksän muuta matkustajaa jatkavat kadonneen koneen etsintää. Tapahtuma on herättänyt laajaa huolta ja mediahuomiota koko Afrikassa. Koko maailma seuraa tiiviisti tilanteen kehittymistä, ja Malawin viranomaiset ovat vakuuttaneet, että kaikki mahdolliset resurssit ovat käytössä etsinnöissä.
