Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. (SBU) The Malawi Electoral Commission announced on May 16
that the presidential and parliamentary elections will be
held May 20, the earliest date in accordance with the High
Court's postponement of the polls (reftel C).
COMMENT
-------
2. (SBU) A fresh round of criticism of the ruling United
Democratic Front's presidential candidate, as well as ground
recently lost to the opposition, are certainly factors
driving the rescheduling of the elections to earliest
possible date (reftel D).
