Ethiopia

ETHIOPIA has asked the UN health agency to investigate its chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus for “harmful misinformation” and “misconduct”, accusing him of backing rebels in his native war-torn

Tigray region. Tedros this week described conditions in the Ethiopian region as “hell” and said the government was preventing medicines and other life-saving aid from reaching locals. Addis Ababa blamed the TPLF for the blockade. It said Tedros’s comments threatened the World Health Organization’s integrity. The fighting has killed thousands and pushed many more to the brink of famine. |
