While many African countries have been praised for their response to the coronavirus, Tanzania is the most dramatic exception, run by a president who questions – or fires – his own health experts and has refused to limit people’s movements

Fatma Karume, a human rights activist and former president of the Tanganyika Law Society, said authorities are discouraging people from going to hospitals to avoid overwhelming them, but they are not giving adequate guidance about the virus.

While Magufuli halted international passenger flights in April, he is now allowing them to resume – and says any visitor who doesn’t have a fever will be allowed in. While health experts say recorded coronavirus cases and deaths the world over are undercounts, opposition leaders accuse Magufuli’s government of hiding the outbreak’s true toll.

“No country is an island,” he warned. On Thursday, Nkengasong said Tanzania still had not provided the body with any more information – but officials were still hoping the government would eventually co-operate.

Dear Globalist & Mail: fake news and fake corrupt leaders cannot be trusted. You lie all the time to manipulate people into capitulating to the glob agenda. You're mad that some African countries are standing up for their people & rejecting corrupt globalists like Gates, WHO, UN.

He caught the WHO in a great big lie!

This is the guy that holds a PhD in Chemistry that submitted papaya samples that ended up testing positive for coronavirus. No wonder they're trying to discredit him.

The head of the WHO hid pandemics in his own country while he was health minister.

Corruption in Tanzania? Shocking. Who would have seen that coming?

Does this have anything to do with the video set saw the Tanzanian exposing Gross mistesting in his country by a lab? In this article does the Globe Mail talk about his credentials before he became leader

Can’t expect better out of shit hole country’s.
