Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom
KIGALI, April 9 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame is the latest African leader to defend the World Health Organization (WHO) and its head Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus against attacks by US President Donald Trump.
Trump tweeted on Tuesday that the WHO was “very China-centric” yet it is “largely” funded by the US.
He warned that he could stop funding the global health organisation.
Earlier AU Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat had defended the Ethiopia WHO chief.
The African Union (AU) said that it fully supports the World Health Organization and its leader Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus after attacks by the US President Donald Trump.
Mahamat tweeted that he was “surprised by the US campaign against WHO’s global leadership”.
He added that the AU “fully backs WHO and Dr Tedros”.
And Kagame backed this up.
“Totally agree, and asking this: Is it Dr Tedros, WHO, China… under attack or all of them together?” he asked. — NNN-AGENCIES
