An interesting call for "equitable access" to COVID vaccine by Paul Kagame (President of Rwanda)

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

“Africa is not sitting back and waiting for charity. We have learned our lessons from the past. All we ask for is transparency and fairness in vaccine access, not the protectionism currently in play.” Read the oped by President Kagame: https://t.co/g3x9pF5Ftk

Joining SOAS was one of the best & right choices I made. A school with community of students (diverse & vibrant) and faculty that challenges you with critical thinking; school that fights injustices. Thanks to all staff in Development Studies and @MMD #WeAreSOAS

They are Heros who reach out and extend hands to Ethiopian domestic workers in Lebanon.👏👏👏

[AJ+ @ajplus]

This all-female group of domestic workers are on a mission to deliver food to fellow domestic workers in need during the coronavirus pandemic in Lebanon.

[Moussa Faki Mahamat @AUC_MoussaFaki]

Surprised to learn of a campaign by the US govt against @WHO’s global leadership. The @_AfricanUnion fully supports @WHO and @DrTedros. The focus should remain on collectively fighting #Covid19 as a united global community. The time for accountability will come.
