In Mirebalais, dope smoking terrorists continue to force the local population to work for them. People must stand and listen to barely coherent "rules" or be shot or hacked to death. If they try to escape, they are killed.
🌟Throwback Thursday!🌟

If you’re failing on justice, you’re failing on health, and if you’re failing on the most marginalised people in your society, you’re failing on every person in your society. There is no success without equity.
We had an awesome time receiving our partners from @isnmedical.
They visited for a joint viewing session of an ISN Medical documentary produced to celebrate Distinguished Professor Christian Happi @christian_happi and to congratulate @acegid for our new @illumina NovaSeq X Plus.
@christian_happi Dr. Happi and ACEGID team pushing forward with African based Genomics laboratory and research capacity. @BuildHealthIntl very proud to be supporting this work.
The Vice Chancellor of @RedeemersUni, Prof. Anthony Akinlo, made an official visit to the @acegid Genomics Centre with the university management team & other leaders.
@christian_happi received them & appreciated the University leadership & community. He then showed them around.
“If readers ask what I have learned from writing this book that I now offer to them, my answer is that above all, in how I live my personal life, I no longer see my ancestors as former slaves. I don’t even think of them as a dominated class. Their misery is only the most superficial aspect of their reality. It is the reality that colonialists prefer to emphasize…I have come to realize that my ancestors, as individuals and as a group, never stopped resisting slavery and domination. I am the child of a collective of fighters, not of the vanquished. I have chosen to venerate them, to honor these captives reduced to slavery….”

@acegid team integrated genomic & travel data to investigate the timing and origin of two variants of interest (B.1.1.318 and B.1.525 (Eta)
@BuildHealthIntl We are very gratified and proud to be in partnership with the Government of Sierra Leone @PresidentBio and @pihsierraleone for this landmark project for West Africa.
Yesterday @PresidentBio inspected impressive progress at the ongoing constr. of a 167-bed, $28M Maternal COE in Kono. Great to see local women actively involved in construction. When complete, a commitment was made to ZERO preventable maternal deaths in Kono. Thank you @PIH
