I wrote this as many African leaders are contemplating whether to extend or impose lockdowns right now. This decision is very different for African countries compared to Europe. Most can’t sustain prolonged lockdown. I set out 5 things to do to prepare before easing lockdowns
Totally Agree ,and asking this; Is it Dr.Tedros,WHO,China...under attack or all of them together? Let's focus on the fight against this pandemic,whoever sh'd be held acc'ntable will come later and done properly. Save us too much politics Africa does not need it. Who does?

I spoke to @SkyNews this morning about the coming #Coronavirus crisis in #Africa where case numbers are rising fast, at almost 3,500 as of today. I worked in Sierra Leone during Ebola but am even more concerned about how this pandemic will impact the Continent

Security, like development, is a complex process, at least as complex as government itself. Approaches should not be driven by the solutions available, but rather the problems present, responses thus requiring careful iteration and adaptation. https://t.co/ogwV7Xc4uE
