notes: On 17 October 2021, villagers with pangas and other weapons set a Christian church on fire after ordering congregants out of the building in Chileka (Blantyre, Southern). The attack was motivated by disagreements regarding funeral rituals of a village chief who was a Gule Wamkulu (cult) member but had converted to Christianity. 3 people were arrested. [size=no report]
