African leaders have rallied around the Ethiopian head of the World Health Organisation (WHO) after US President Donald Trump criticised the United Nations agency SABCNews

had shown “exceptional leadership … from the very earliest stages of this unprecedented global health crisis.”

Tedros, a former foreign minister of Ethiopia, has rejected Trump’s suggestion that the WHO has been “China-centric” in its efforts to contain the spread of the new coronavirus. China has said Tedros had played an important role in promoting international cooperation to combat the pandemic, which has infected more than 1.47 million people and killed more than 87 000, according to the latest Reuters tally.

calls are coming from all parts of the world for that WHO man to step down .... for heaven's sake he is not even a medical doctor .....only a PHD in 'community health' ..prepare for the class action lawsuits being readied for the courts at the moment.....

We shouldn't stand with corruption! The US is the highest contributor to the W.HO they know exactly what's going on. We should wake up too!

Instead of using the energy he has to fight Coronavirus, he's fighting Dr Tedros

Trump has no respect and no regard for black people,to him black people are just second class citizens and should not hold high positions,he even disrespected president Buhari after meeting him, regarded him as lifeless

Pssh they'll sell out as usual after they get threatened Aid cuts

Mr Trump has been Trumped by his handling of the pandemic...its himself to blame...

They went to an africa summit in china (imagine), what are you expecting, they sing for their supper.

Wish the same African leaders would have rallied against Obama when he destroyed Africa's number 1 country in Human development (Libya). Trump is low hanging fruit. Even now Barrack has killed more people than Trump, launched more drones, missiles & started more wars than Trump

'Rally' all you want. This Mass Killer and his org is going to answer to IntlCrimCourt for its mass killings due to their IN-ACTIONS. Black skin are not going to protect you again this time. No hiding behind 'african leaders'. YOU WILL PAY. With your black race card or not.

All those questions and criticisms for Trump from US itself, we all know he needs to find someone to blame instead. Chinese virus, WHO, maybe the next is “Obama didn’t tell me”.

Of course they would. They are heavily in debt to China 🇨🇳 thus to openly criticize the communist regime for how it handled the Covid19 outbreak would be an act of political suicide. African leaders are notorious for rallying around corruption, so it comes at no surprise.

Yes we stand by the WHO n DrTedros.....its time to stand together n FightAgainstCoronavirus....United we stand WeAreTheWorld
