Opinion: World Health Organisation and the Exit of America’s Leadership, By Osmund Agbo

The fact remains that America, even with all her flaws, has always been the greatest force for good in this planet. Until now, the U.S. had kept to that promise; for her own benefit and the benefit of the rest of humanity. Since the inauguration of President Trump, America has reneged on that promise. Today, their is a gaping hole in leadership on the world stage and the world is beckoning at Xi Jinping to step in. We all need to get ready for the meal China would be serving.

The savage that is COVID-19 has exposed the illusion of thinking that any nation could isolate itself in the name of a new-found extreme right wing nationalism, no matter how rich and powerful. The U.S., with the best hospitals and medical experts anywhere in the world, has recorded more deaths than any other country in this planet.

Today, the world faces a looming threat of a belligerent Russia, with her imperial agenda, alongside a resurging and emboldened China that is overly ambitious and makes no pretence about playing by the rule. As we sing Nunc Dimmitis to the old American republic, having to decide between these two other powers will surely leave humanity with a Morton’s Fork.

Osmund Agbo is the president/CEO of African Center for Transparency and writes from the United States.

A sizeable amount of his decisions are predicated on this fatal obsession to undo anything that has Obama’s imprimatur, whatever satisfaction that gives him. The same way he dismantled some of the public health safety measures put in place by both the Bush and later the Obama administration that is now hurting America in the covid response.
