• ... that Ethiopian migrants have to stay in Malawi's overcrowded Maula Prison until they can fund their own deportation?

• Source: In July 2015 there were 193 Ethiopian migrants detained in this single cell designed to house 60 people. 160 of them had finished their sentence the previous month but were still detained.... The prisoners are expected to pay their own repatriation expenses

• Hello @Victuallers: Article has not been 5 times expanded, and therefore does not qualify for DYK. Other requirements are ok, - no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources used and QPQ done. The hook is alright and correctly sourced. Munfarid1 (talk) 09:50, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

@Munfarid1: I count 249 before, 2351 after (text copied from Violet Chipao was written within the last week, so also counts as new content).--Launchballer 09:55, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

@Launchballer and Victuallers: - Thanks for pointing this out, and I apologize for the error. (I had only looked at the difference in versions, which give 3,143 bytes as opposed to 6,567 bytes in the expanded version. Obviously, this is very different from the character counts.) - So the review is approved and ready to go. Munfarid1 (talk) 10:33, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
