Dr Akinwumi Adesina, president of African Development Bank has queried why the developed nations are rushing to ban African countries over the COVID-19 variant, Omicron.
Dr Adesina said this on Sunday in some tweets throught his verified Twitter handle.
The world food prize laureate worried that Omicron has been found in some non-African countries and why are travels from those countries are not banned.
“Now that Omicron has been found in many non-African and developed countries, why are travels from those countries not banned. Why single out African countries? Singling out African countries is very unfair, non-scientific and discriminatory. Lift bans on African countries.”
Global vaccines and travel apartheid against Africa are endangering lives. hurting economies, lives, jobs and livelihood, from a pandemic Africa did not cause. End the apartheid. Respect Africa”, Dr Adesina said.
Since the discovery of COVID-19 omicron variant, Africans have been talking about the omicron politics with the way the developed nations are treating Africa.
