Trump’s withdrawal from the WHO: A moment that vindicates my stand

 

The WHO hasn't been honest for decades and Trump has made it apparent

The WHO hasn't been honest for decades, and Trump has made it apparent  


Under Trump’s administration, several developments have unfolded that, in my view, are not mere coincidences but instead reinforce the relevance of my earlier writings.

 

When I exposed the questionable activities of the World Health Organization in developing nations, many dismissed it with indifference. After all, it concerned Africa, and for some, that alone was enough reason not to care.

 

Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) stemmed from a combination of accusations about the agency’s performance during the COVID19 pandemic, concerns about transparency, and claims that the organization had become too closely aligned with China.

 

According to the administration, the WHO did not act quickly or independently enough and relied too heavily on information provided by the Chinese government. These concerns were presented as evidence that the organization lacked the transparency, accountability, and independence required to safeguard global health.

 

Another major justification Trump offered was financial. He claimed the United States was contributing disproportionately to the WHO’s budget while receiving little in return. In his view, the organization was not only ineffective but also an unnecessary drain on American resources.

 

This argument aligned with his broader approach to international institutions, which he often criticized for what he saw as unfair financial burdens on the U.S. The administration also insisted that the WHO had repeatedly refused to implement reforms the U.S. considered essential.

 

These included structural changes aimed at increasing oversight, improving crisis response mechanisms, and reducing what the administration described as political influence within the organization. When these reforms did not materialize, Trump signed an executive order in January 2025 to begin the formal withdrawal process, which became official one year later.

 

It’s worth noting that WHO leadership publicly rejected the administration’s accusations, calling the stated reasons “untrue” and warning that the withdrawal would make both the U.S. and the world less safe. They emphasized that the U.S. had long been a key contributor to global health efforts and expressed hope that it would eventually return.

 

Who would have imagined that similar concerns would one day surface in the United States? Donald Trump’s decisions and his public accusations against the World Health Organization, in my opinion, validate the warnings I raised years ago. These actions are among the reasons many dislike him, yet I do not share that sentiment.

 

For several reasons, I will refrain from detailing the medical abuses the World Health Organization carried out in Africa, abuses the U.S. government can’t easily claim ignorance of. What I can state with certainty is that Trump’s position on the WHO has, in many ways, vindicated the concerns I raised years ago.

Coronavirus- why less vaccination, few deaths in Africa and more vaccination, more deaths in developed countries?

 

Image of coronavirus

The coronavirus


There are many people worldwide, especially, the developed countries, protesting against the mandatory coronavirus vaccination, based on different reasons. 


Many think the virus doesn’t even exist, while others think the vaccines are either responsible for the spread of the virus or killing the people.

In such arguments, I am not a scientist to confirm the truth or lies about the coronavirus vaccines, however, what I know is behind every pandemic, there are always lies and deceptions.

In the eighties when HIV-Aids hit the world, especially in Africa, the WHO and CDC told the world that monkeys brought from the Philippines to the United States were responsible.

It turn out later that the virus was a biological weapon to reduce the population, hitting Africa and African-Americans simultaneously.

Also when Ebola occurred, the same World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control, told the world that bats are responsible for the spread and even blamed African delicacies, such as bushmeat.

Scientists have proved today that Ebola, known as hemorrhagic fever, has nothing to do with bats or bushmeat but is also a biological weapon.

Now the coronavirus has decimated the world and governments want people to vaccinate against this virus but because of the previous medical lies associated with HIV-Aids and Ebola, many are not interested in vaccinations.

We mustn't also forget that under the nose of the World Health Organization, over 500,000 girls were made infertile due to a tetanus vaccine which turned out to be an infertility vaccine in Uganda. This is the reason the Pharma Company involved had its license suspended.

Africa is the only continent among the other continents that has few vaccinations, yet the COVID death rate is very low, while many deaths have been registered in developed countries. The disturbing factor is that people who have been fully vaccinated are also among the dead.

So, the people are now asking why Africa with less vaccination has experienced fewer death rates, why Europe and America that have fully vaccinated their citizens are dying in large numbers. This is a good answer but hard to explain since I am not a scientist.

It is because of this experience many are convinced that it is the vaccines that are causing the deaths but not the COVID 19. 

Whether this is true or not God only knows. I have taken the three vaccinations to make traveling easy for myself but I am being forced to use a mouth mask, does this makes sense?

What is going on in the world today is something we can’t do anything about it because we now live in a terrible world in the hands of ruthless leaders, some believe are not normal human beings.

COVID 19, the US government playing God but not being clever

 

The spread of the coronavirus

The spread of the coronavirus


When the ferocious impact of COVID-19 hit the United States of America, it was interesting to hear  Donald Trump calling the pandemic “Chinese virus,” because the United States of America has become the real and largest source of the coronavirus in the world, killing innocent people, especially African Americans.


If there is a complaint to be made about diseases or biological weapons, Africans or black people have sad stories to tell or bitter experiences to share. Again, if it’s very easy for African leaders to make their voices heard like Trump, then they can also call these viruses “American HIV-Aids, American nodding disease, and American Ebola.”

 

Why, because if the President or the ex-President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, claims China is responsible for the COVID-19 and, therefore, calls the disease “Chinese virus,” then, African leaders have the right to mention “American HIV-Aids and American Ebola,” because the US government is responsible.

 

Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all of the time.” This quote also warns American leaders that “In God, They Can Trust, but they can’t fool God with the Holy Bible.”

 

There are so many so-called prophets in the United States of America, but unlike the prophets in the biblical period of Israel, they don’t warn the US government about its numerous clandestine crimes and biological projects against vulnerable people in poor and weak nations.

 

The prophets in the United States of America only saw election results and said God spoke to them that Donald Trump would win the 2020 presidential elections, but I guess it was the voice of Satan talking to them from the wilderness. 

 

Personally, I don’t think there is even the spirit of God's presence in America, and surely if God is there, He is for only a few people in that country. In my life, I have never seen such a wicked country as that of the United States of America. 

 

They kill innocent people around the globe with biological weapons and use their own people for experimentation, then afterward shout at the top of their voice, “In God We Trust,” no, America, you don’t trust in God, you believe in Satan.

 

It doesn’t matter to many any longer if COVID-19 originates from Wuhan, China, or the United States of America, because behind every pandemic, there are tons of lies and deceptions. What matters at the moment is to get this deadly virus under control.

 

The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hua Chunying, once told Trump when he mentioned “Chinese virus,” that the coronavirus was spreading in other countries even before it appeared in China, and added, "We advise American politicians to show respect for facts and science and stop engaging in political manipulation.”

 

This is the truth we write on our blog, “Secrets of HIV-Aids and Ebola Facts Journal,” one of the reasons worldwide, people who are hungry for the truth made that rare health blog a masterpiece among global health blogs. 

 

But the blog’s success became a threat to many corruptible politicians and institutions, including the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control, and search engine companies, leading to the suppression of information and the reduction of the blog's visibility.

 

They think it is necessary to fight the truth to save the disgraceful times waiting for them, since both health institutions have provided false information on their websites about many diseases, including HIV-AIDS, Ebola, and nodding disease.


How long will the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control, and the US government continue to deceive the world that monkeys, primates, bushmeat, and bats are responsible for the spread of HIV, Aids, or Ebola, while indeed, they are all biological weapons? 


That's the reason they are suffering today, but what they don't know is that the current crisis they are facing is just the tip of the iceberg. This is what they fear to hear, but I am telling them the truth.


Nevertheless, let the unseen forces continue with their clandestine activities to suppress information or the social media lies against me of breaking their rules to delete my account; the truth will always be there to stare right in their faces.

 

Due to this fact, people still look for us to read what we write, even though the number of our readers has been drastically reduced by Google, the so-called almighty search engine. I will continue to write even if only one person gets the chance to discover what I write.

 

One thing they often forget is that their negative activities also affect them, revealing their dishonesty and support for criminals, which will also drive intelligent people away from them. Actually, this is what they want to avoid, but it has already happened, and they are feeling the impact.

 

The main question is, who can fight the truth? Nobody, it’s just a waste of time like someone fetching water with a bucket full of holes. You can’t succeed, no matter how hard you fight. 

 

Therefore, let them enjoy their period at the moment because as the nation rises and the nation falls, whoever has played a role in committing crimes against humanity or helped in any way to cover up or suppress information, will never be the same till the end of their criminal lives.

Silja Fröhlich, If You Can’t Write The truth About The Origin Of African Diseases, Then Stop Writing False Articles

Silja Fröhlich, the German journalist, her article is full of lies and deceptive

Silja Fröhlich, the German journalist—her article is full of lies and deceptive


On February 25, 2021, a publication entitled Could Africa's taste for bushmeat trigger the next pandemic? Written by Silja Fröhlich, a German journalist, it appeared as an online publication in a German newspaper, DW.com (Deutsche Welle). Reference: https://www.dw.com/en/could-africas-taste-for-bushmeat-trigger-the-next-pandemic/a-56696576 

 

The publication further explains that “bushmeat is considered a virus vector and a cause of countless diseases. But the problem goes far beyond the consumption of bat stew, and the next pandemic is already lurking.”

 

I want to challenge the author that her article is full of lies, deception, and misleading because there is no bushmeat in Africa that triggers a pandemic. 


Where did she get such information or scientific research thateating bushmeat in Africa can trigger a pandemic?

 

Silja Fröhlich, Are you the kind of so-called false health writer paid to write false information about diseases, such as Ebola, trumpeted to be caused by bushmeat, primates, bats, etc., while the disease is a biological weapon engineered from the laboratory of the US government?

 

Nobody is forcing deceptive health writers to write the truth about biological weapons or man-made diseases in Africa, but for God’s sake, writers should stop writing such false health news because such news doesn’t educate the people.

 

After all, Europeans and other people in many countries have stinky delicacies, including cheese that stinks like ‘shit.’ When they eat them, does any epidemic break out? 


Above all, before the vaccine for malaria was discovered, the only disease on the African continent was malaria, so where did HIV, AIDS, Ebola, nodding disease, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and Burkitt’s lymphoma come from?

 

This is the question we have asked the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control, over and over, yet they have failed to give us an answer. Why? Because all the aforementioned diseases were man-made or biological weapons to trigger diseases.

 

Silja Fröhlich, either you have been paid to write such a false article, or you are just a shallow-minded writer. 


If the first suits you, then stop taking money and quit writing false articles about man-made diseases in Africa, or if the second suits you, then go back to school because it’s very embarrassing to read such articles when even illiterates know that there are no bushmeats that trigger diseases in Africa.

COVID 19 - Trump Against Fauci Tells Us More Than The Media

Donald Trump with a serious look at Fauci as he speaks

Donald Trump with a serious look at Fauci as he speaks


Anyone that crosses the path of Donald Trump doesn’t get off the hook easily. Now it seems Trump has turned his anger on Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief epidemic specialist in the United States. On his campaign trail, Trump continues attacking Dr. Fauci but what is the reason behind these attacks?


Trump wants support from Fauci but he is not getting it. If he says the coronavirus is subsiding, Dr. Fauci will say that the situation is getting worse, therefore, his remarks about the virus are frustrating Trump. The fact that thousands of Americans believe in Dr. Fauci than Trump, Fauci has become Trump's enemy.


Dr. Anthony Fauci hasn't been happy about the handling of the coronavirus by the president. On September 26, he criticized the president with his supporters in front of the White House, during which no one wore masks and did not follow the rules of social distancing. At least 11 people from those present were then infected with Covid-19.


In the past, the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control, and the mainstream media, including CNN, despite claiming to have a qualified health journalist, Sanjay Gupta, have never spoken the truth about any pandemic or man-made disease, therefore, it is likely today as well, they are not prepared to speak any truth about the COVID 19.


What is investigative journalism to the American media that hasn't been their interest to find out the reason the American President, Donald Trump hasn't been very serious on the pandemic which has claimed thousands of lives and infected millions around the globe and still no sign of submission?

 

Is Donald Trump trying to tell the world what he calls 'Chinavirus,' a hoax? Why did Trump refused from the initial stages to wear a mouth mask? Why was Trump angry with the World Health Organization and why did he threaten to stop funding the health institution? 

 

Why did Trump keep downplaying the pandemic while  hundreds of people are dying each day in America, and finally, why the president has now turned against the American infectious disease specialist and the chief expert on the fight against coronavirus in the United States, Dr. Anthony Fauci?

 

I can go on and on asking infinite questions about the current coronavirus crisis in America because of Trump's behavior and the manner in handling the coronavirus. Trump's behavior is unprofessional, yet it is telling us something the media and the Democrats wouldn't like anyone to know.


Donald Trump is aware of the lies and deceptions surrounding the pandemic, and, therefore, wouldn't like to obey any rules suggested by Dr. Fauci to avoid the spread of the disease. But for the sake of the people and the world, Fauci wants Trump as the president to observe the medical rules, to help suppress the true information about the COVID 19.


Dr. Fauci says a mouth mask prevents the spread of the COVID 19. Many countries in all the seven continents are observing these rules, so why is the virus still infecting thousands of people each day? Above all, some people have tested positive for the coronavirus without symptoms.


That means there is something they don't want to tell us and since they are not ready to speak the truth, Trump has now become a scapegoat. They find it very necessary to put all the blame on Trump just to suppress the true information about the pandemic.


The opposition and the media are actually not happy about Trump's actions and the handling of the coronavirus. it would be a serious humanitarian crime for the president of one of the greatest countries in the world to suppress crucial information or lie about the coronavirus.


Just like other man-made diseases such as HIV-Aids, Ebola, nodding disease, Kaposi's sarcoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, Zika virus, etc, the truth behind it has never been told, the coronavirus will also remain the same because we live in a dangerous world, ruled by greedy politicians without remorse, empathy and integrity.

The Fashion And Jokes The Coronavirus Came Along With

COVID-19 is a deadly virus that can't be underestimated, but along the way, many have taken it very easy in life with crazy fashions and unexpected events, as if the virus never existed. Frankly speaking, many think the death related to the pandemic is a hoax, made it look real by the media.


There was a time when many thought that the coronavirus didn't exist. The fact that you hardly see someone either sick or collapsing in the city, town, or anywhere but only on the news and television, you hear of the announcements of the number of deaths.


Some people start making fun of the disease with whatever they find amusing, while several funny videos were uploaded on YouTube.' It may be likely that since many from the initial stages didn't respect the coronavirus, led to the high rate of infections today.


But the fact is, the coronavirus is real, and before people acknowledge this to protect themselves or strictly observe the rules to prevent the spread of the disease, COVID-19 will not only kill thousands more people but also ruin the economy of many countries beyond remedy.


The coronavirus fashion is a new craze in many countries throughout Asia, Africa, Europe, and America. Some of the mouth masks are used as bikinis, while some females use them as breast protectors. While all these jokes are taking place, the virus, which doesn't discriminate, is on a deadly spree.

A funny mouth mask

A funny mouth mask


Well, probably making these jokes and fashion from the masks are some of the ways to prevent worries or psychological torture from taking over our lives; however, people need to be serious as well because the jokes are misleading people into not adequately protecting themselves.

Why World Leaders Are Partly Responsible For The Coronavirus

World leaders are responsible for the coronavirus because they supported the biological weapon crimes of the US government

World leaders are responsible for the coronavirus because they supported the biological weapon crimes of the US government.


Whenever there is a problem, the right decision is to find a quick solution to tackle it. That is better than pointing fingers at or accusing others as perpetrators. However, I will still blame both world leaders of developed and developing countries for this coronavirus pandemic today.


You see, crime doesn't pay; it destroys the entire society and affects people. World leaders, especially from the developed world, in the past and present, continue to remain silent over crimes committed against humanity because biological weapon crimes often take place in the third world.


The whole world is suffering from the attack of the merciless coronavirus today, another biological weapon named COVID-19 but can world leaders accept the fact that if they have acted appropriately in the past, this pandemic could have been prevented?


HIV-Aids was a man-made disease meant to destroy Africa after independence swept through the continent before it gradually spread throughout the whole world. Even though the US government was responsible, no country in the world queried or warned the US government about this horrible crime against humanity.


Not even the International Criminal Court of Justice- ICC, known for putting African leaders that commit crimes against humanity behind bars, stepped in to question America.


The world tried their best to control the rapid spread of the HIV-Aids virus, which has already decimated Africa. Within the spread of the virus, more crimes were committed in Africa, by the US government, as vaccines to treat Aids patients on the African continent, were contaminated giving rise to tuberculosis in Aids patients at the same time.


Still, no world leader in the advanced world showed any remorse or sympathy for Africa about the way the disease has destroyed Africa. 


Just like the HIV-Aids, Ebola was also a biological weapon but world leaders remained quiet, supporting the crimes and false claims of the US, Centers for Disease Control, and the World Health Organization, that bats and bushmeat are responsible for the spread of Ebola in Africa.


Meanwhile, the same hemorrhagic fever which first exploded in Congo in 1976, had already appeared simultaneously in Marburg and Frankfurt in Germany, and in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1967. Because of the truth, many are not interested in what we write, but we shall all suffer together.


The fact that the developed world failed each time to expose the US government of triggering biological weapons on innocent populations, which of course, affects China too because they do business with African leaders, has led to the coronavirus pandemic.


The important question here is, "if the US government, has lied about the true origin of HIV-Aids and Ebola, would the Chinese government tell the world that the coronavirus is a biological weapon?" That can't happen.


In this world, what one sows, the same he shall reap. In my life, since I was born, I have never heard of anyone who planted tomatoes and harvested apples. Whatever goes around comes around.


Advanced countries have supported the US government, the corrupt World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control to kill innocent victims in third world countries with biological weapons. 


It's time for them to know how suffering and deaths are associated with the Chinese virus, Corona.

THE REAL PANDEMIC IN GHANA IS NEPOTISM

Nepotism and tribalism pandemics are destroying Ghana than the coronavirus

Nepotism and tribalism pandemics are destroying Ghana than the coronavirus



In recent decades, Africa has firmly established itself as a continent prone to tribalism and nepotism in all fields. These viruses that create strong family ties and embezzlement of national wealth have sharply increased in Ghanaian politics, leading to the suffering of the common people.

 

The widespread nepotism and tribalism in Ghanaian politics today, are affecting the country's political and economic infrastructures because not every relative appointed to take a particular post is efficient and in such a situation, the president will remain silent to avoid gossips or disgrace.


This is one of the reasons despite the free education which the NPP government introduced since coming to power, Ghana is stagnant, there are no developments in other sectors. There is no employment and the depressive economy has created an unfriendly marketing environment.


Ghanaians are indeed suffering but NPP supporters and politicians find it very hard to accept this fact because of the corruptible scandals which pushed John Mahama out of office. Yet, what sensible Ghanaians have failed to discuss is when Mahama was power, Ghana wasn't in the second position as the most corrupt country in the world.


Another serious pandemic in Ghana is hate towards journalists and writers. It is an abomination to write about what is going bad in Nana Akufo Addo's government. Section of the public will either insult you or accuse you of being an NDC member. 


What has Ghanaian politics offered me to join a political party in Ghana, when in Europe that things are better, I am not affiliated with any political party? I am forced to vote because I am not ready to pay the fine that will follow if I fail to vote., other than that I will not waste my time to go out and vote.


I can't confirm the truth but according to an article dated November 6, 2019,  on 'Ghanaweb,' 51 relatives of Akufo Addo are in his government. If this is true, then it's more serious than a pandemic because this can hinder the growth of the country drastically.


The unification of Akufo Addo's family in Ghanaian politics, giving rise to nepotism, tribalism, and corruption in his government, is affecting Ghanaians because many of them are not qualified to keep an office and if qualified, they lack skills and efficiency.


If Akufo Addo's relatives in his government are efficient, Ghana wouldn't be in this hopeless situation under such an elephant size ministers, who are just draining and wasting the hard-earned resources of the country. 


I have said this before that Akufo Addo will still win the forthcoming elections, therefore, Ghanaians must be prepared to pass through another waterless wilderness for four years. 


After 30 years in Europe, I am now confused if it's better to die in Ghana or Europe at old age because Ghana is in an extremely bad position. Any common Ghanaian that says the current political or economic situation is good, might be enjoying extra funds from the government coffers. Life in Ghana is harder than rock.


Nepotism in Ghanaian politics is collapsing the country, as well as an impediment to progress, the government must find a remedy to tackle this political pandemic like that of coronavirus in the country.

THE POLITICAL LIES AND DECEPTIONS BEHIND EACH PANDEMIC

The coronavirus

The coronavirus


The treacherous medical history reveals that there have been political lies and deceptions behind each pandemic that kills thousands or millions of people because the corrupt governments, the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control, and the false mainstream media think that suppressing information and lying to the public are the best strategies to prevent fear and anxiety.

Together As One Let's Fight This Coronavirus Pandemic

Hate and division can't conquer the coronavirus

Hate and division can't conquer the coronavirus


If a mistake is done, the correction is often difficult because of obstacles one may encounter, the same thing applies to the coronavirus pandemic. Since last year, the disease which originates from China has decimated the world in a cruel manner that the situation seems to be out of control.


Initial methods to prevent the spread of disease were better handled by many countries across the globe, while other countries that lack the right plans or resources to deal with the situation, allowed the disease to take control over its population.


Despite that Spain and Italy were among the countries that recorded the highest death tolls, they have derived proper measures to deal with the situation, while the cases in the United States of America keep rising without an immediate solution.


Why a country as the United States of America with one of the best health systems keep recording a high number of deaths daily? Many people around the globe following the coronavirus crisis in the country blame the high cost of medical insurance which many people, including the African-Americans, can't afford.


However, examining the political situation in the United States of America, one can't blame the crisis on high medical insurance alone in the country. It is very easy to identify that one of the major causes which have worsened the coronavirus situation in the country is 'political.'


Many people, including the opposition, hate Donald Trump and, therefore, want him to fail. Instead of Americans coming together to fight the disease, they remain divided, using politics as a tool to make things and the handling of the pandemic very difficult for Donald Trump.

It's not a hidden agenda that even though many openly show their support and admiration to the president, he is also surrounded by an empire of deceitful enemies who are not only praying for his failure but also will do everything to see the downfall of Donald Trump. 


Donald Trump's enemies are not giving him any help to fight the disease, instead, they are helping to spread the disease. 


There is a reason people often say that politics is a dirty game, however, if Americans will not put this dirty game aside to help the president, by the time the disease subsides, it may kill millions of Americans, including children, Caucasians, and blacks.

OBEYING THE RULES AT HOME TO AVOID THE SPREAD OF THE CORONAVIRUS


Belgian writer, journalist, and author Joel Savage

Joel Savage 


I have read much about biological weapons and diseases. Years back, if a prophet, a soothsayer, or anyone with a third-eye would have told me that an epidemic will appear and kill over 8,000 people in Belgium, I don't think I would have accepted it.


However, here I am today, in a state of shock and confusion, watching helplessly, as the death toll of victims of coronavirus keeps rising in a country that tourism has played a major role in its economy and has also lived peacefully for the past twenty years.

No matter how safe some families are, you need an extra-strength and courage to listen to the daily news with announcements about deaths from the coronavirus, and as the number of deaths keeps increasing daily, that makes one feels sometimes that there is no need to live in this world any longer.

I have been at home for almost two months. Even though some people may like to stay at home without work, this temporary confinement has taken its toll on me. A man needs to work hard to feed his family. Working helps to improve your health physically and psychologically.


As of May 8, 2020, the coronavirus pandemic has killed more than 151,797 people in Europe, three-quarters of which in Italy, Spain, France and the United Kingdom but the situation also in Belgium is alarming, taking into consideration the size of the country. Belgium has so far recorded 52,596 cases and 8,581 deaths.

My condolence to everyone in Belgium affected by this pandemic. It's only a matter of time, everything will be over. It's a very tough period for everyone but we need to be tougher, encourage, and motivate others to stay alive in this pandemic.

I tried to cut my own hair and eventually, I made a big hole in the process. I have no option than to continue obeying the law to stay at home and leave my beard like that of King Nebuchadnezzar. 

We have no specific role to play in this coronavirus crisis than to obey the law, avoiding social gatherings, and follow the hygienic rules recommended, avoiding the spread of the disease.

CHINA MUST EASE AFRICAN DEBT BURDEN – GHANA’S FINANCE MINISTER


Ghana's Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta


Ghana's Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta


Ghana's finance minister said China should step up debt relief for African countries in economic distress due to the coronavirus pandemic. This was reported by the Reuters news agency, citing a statement by the Minister of Finance of Ghana.



“I believe that China should act more actively,” Ken Ofori-Atta said during a conversation with Masoud Ahmed, head of the Washington Center for Global Development.

Ofori-Atta is currently chairing the Africa Development Committee, a ministerial forum whose members are consulting with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund on development.

“The African debt to China is about 145 billion US dollars; this year it will be necessary to pay more than 8 billion ... This must be taken into account,” he added.

According to reporters, African governments have requested $100 billion in assistance to combat the pandemic, as well as a moratorium on external debt and the complete cancellation of some debts. 

Mr. Ofori-Atta added that African countries intend to increase their special drawing rights and foreign exchange reserves, managed by the IMF, to protect against defaults on commercial debts.

Africa accounts for only a small proportion of coronavirus infections globally, but the continent's health systems are already under serious pressure, with continent economies expected to decline, putting at least 20 million jobs at risk.

On Tuesday, April 7, China said it recognized that developing countries were facing more serious problems during the fight against the pandemic but did not mention any specific debt relief measures that were planned to be implemented.

At a media briefing, the representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Zhao Lijian, said that China would discuss bilateral requests from the countries concerned.
