Muslims.
The Iftaar took place at Hotel Victoria in the commercial city of Blantyre where different Muslim professionals and leaders were present.

Jackson said the US government ensures that everyone residing in US is free to practice his or her religion with no problem.
“We have good relationship with Malawian Muslims. This is witnessed by a number of projects we have done with the Muslim community such as sponsoring some Muslim leaders on leadership skills as well as sending some Muslim students to study in United States,” said Jackson.
On his behalf, Muslim Association of Malawi (MAM) National Chairman Sheikh Idrissa Muhammad hailed the US for courting Muslims.
