@rkiplagat My friend, where one is born (or where one's dad is born) is happenstance!Actions & decisions one makes is how we measure leaders. Rishi gets a failing grade. He's shown that his Kenyan roots won't deter him from targeting those with Kenyan roots, or indeed, immigrants in general

"The greatest steps forward [in progress vs pandemics in the Global South] have come when #African civil society movements, scientists & govts have insisted on taking leadership... We can do it again."

So moved to have arrived in Montreal where #AIDS2022 @iasociety will be taking place. #AIDS2022engage

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

We appeal to the govt of #Canada to grant visas expeditiously to experts, activists & govt officials planning to attend #AIDS2022 in Montreal.

@UNAIDS puts the highest priority on developing country participation.

The South is saying “Nothing for us without us”

A thread: Why Africa needs ownership of its health security 👇🏾

Despite @AfricaCDC recording 10000 monkeypox cases & 600 deaths in 2 yrs (20/21), @WHO stockpiled vaccines were only mobilised when monkeypox was identified in far fewer cases and no deaths in rich countries in 2022
