The Test Of New Vaccines In Africa, Don't Blame Bill Gates, Blame African Leaders

The coronavirus vaccine


About the test of new vaccines in Africa, Africans mustn't blame Bill Gates or any pharmaceutical company that comes to the continent to test new drugs, such as the coronavirus vaccine, Africans should blame their leaders, I mean African leaders.

African leaders aren't only corrupt but very lazy and always expect either a miracle from heaven or assistance from advanced countries. The lack of knowledge to utilize the continent's resources has opened African gates to foreigners to commit all sorts of crimes in Africa.

Africa is the richest continent among the seven continents, yet the lack of intelligence of the leaders has made Africa become the poorest continent in the world. Senegal is going to be the first country to try a new vaccine for the coronavirus.

No world leader can force an African leader to accept something he is not pleased about until the leader accepts it himself. Thus, it's neither  Bill Gates nor the World Health Organization that is forcing an African leader to permit the trial of a vaccine. 

The coronavirus has done more damage to Europe and America, than Africa, therefore, they must first try the vaccine in Europe or America, instead of using the Senegalese as guinea pigs to test their vaccine. This is what the French doctor, Didier Raoult earlier said.

Despite the test of the new vaccine which will take place in Senegal very soon, the World Health Organization has denied the fact that Africa will be a testing ground for the coronavirus.

A time will come that African leaders will not get even a single vote because they are worthless and useless. They are only interested in the money that goes into their pockets and don't care about the suffering masses.

“POVERTY IS CREATED BY MAN NOT BY GOD"- ANTHONY B

Anthony B: One of the versatile Jamaican musicians known for his quest for justice and equal rights

Anthony Keith Blair, popularly known as Anthony B, is one of the Jamaican globetrotting, versatile musicians and members of the Rastafari faith.

Usually on stage in African attire depicting his roots, and a staff in his hand, the energetic reggae musician’s lyric reflects on poverty, injustice, and crime, giving hope and consolation to the downtrodden masses.

Once in Antwerp, Belgium, after entertaining the massive spectators at the venue ‘Petrol,’ I took the opportunity to talk to Anthony B. about his life and music.

“Poverty, talking about suffering, I don’t even have words to explain it, because this is the way we live. It is part of our lives that we never try to eliminate it." 

"We always have to remember our roots, as Burning Spear said. For me, there is too much suffering in the world. People live rich, while others live in poverty, yet no one cares. This was created by a man, not God. This is what ‘Mr. Heartless’ is about,” says Anthony B."

You were born Anthony Keith Blair. Did changing your name to Anthony B. enhance your success as a musician?

Not really, but growing up in music in Jamaica as an artist, you need to find a name for yourself. I’m oriented African with an English name, so I made it Anthony B.

Anthony B speaks about his experience in the Gambia.

I have been to Senegal and Gambia. First and foremost, the reality as a reality, I respect my culture. There was an incident during my visit to the Gambia, as my visa expired the same day I was leaving.

I was at the airport when I was told the Gambia police were looking for me to be deported to Jamaica. It was a silly thing to know that you have been to the continent of your origin, but haven’t had enough days to see the people. All these problems were created by political leaders.

Joel Savage speaks to Anthony B.

If you want a visa for the Gambia, you have to go to England first. They have to remove all these political barriers. I remember a friend from Accra, Ghana, who was deported from Germany to Jamaica because he claimed to be Jamaican.

He doesn’t know anyone in Jamaica. Luckily, he had my number. He had to call me to help him because we are all Africans.

BELGIUM REQUESTS THE EXTRADITION OF FORMER CHAD PRESIDENT TO FACE TRIAL

Former Chadian leader Hissene Habré


Belgium has requested Senegal to extradite former Chadian president Hissene Habré, to Europe, to face trial. The request was contained in a note handed to Senegal's Ambassador, Mr. Paul Badji, in Brussels recently, the Belgian government said in a statement.

The Senegalese diplomat was summoned to the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he was handed the note, requesting his country to extradite Habré, if they can't let him face trial. In the statement, Belgium pledged its commitment to respect international justice and protect victims.

Senegal has earlier reversed its decision to extradite the former Chadian leader, to his country to face trial, following pressure from the UN Human Rights Commissioner and hosts of rights groups.

Hissene Habré, who has been living in Senegal, since he was ousted in 1990, was sentenced to death in absentia, in his country 2008, over charges of crimes against humanity.

However; Amnesty International (AI) has called on Senegal, not to repatriate Habré to his country. According to the global rights body, it's over ten years since a complaint was made against the former Chadian president, who fled to Senegal, after being moved from power in 1990, yet no judicial proceedings have begun.

Amnesty International thinks Habré will not receive a fair trial when extradited to his country, Chad.
