Malawi's President Bingu wa Mutharika has been admitted to hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Mr Mutharika, 78, is said to be unconscious in the intensive care unit of a hospital in the capital, Lilongwe, after falling ill on Thursday morning.
Several family and cabinet members, including his brother, Foreign Minister Peter Mutharika, are at the clinic.
Accusations of economic mismanagement and nepotism have recently sparked violent protests against his rule.
This problem may solve itself.
