	ZNet Commentary
		Bandas control over Malawi was so absolute, from the media through the judiciary, the military, the legislative, to the executive branches of government, police and domestic affairs to foreign affairs, etc., that it was practically impossible to even imagine him dislodged from power.
		Malawis lack of a diversified economy, with an economy based entirely on agriculture and natural resources has, through the years, translated into having its able-bodied men participate in migrant labor, working for stints in farms and mines in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia (especially during the boom years of copper-mining).
		Malawi has thus been a country which, by and large, has been sustained by women, who also had their share of political incarceration.
