Tan­z­a­nia Part 6: Mon­key­pox and Polio

To free up nur­ses for the polio cam­paign, the Coro­na vac­ci­na­ti­on cam­paign was sus­pen­ded for the peri­od of three days. Alt­hough the vac­ci­na­ti­on was declared vol­un­t­a­ry, many peo­p­le per­cei­ved it as com­pul­so­ry. One infor­mant repor­ted that schools had also been writ­ten to recom­mend vac­ci­na­ti­on for child­ren under 5, but that par­ents were allo­wed to deci­de indi­vi­du­al­ly whe­ther to accept the offer. wei­ter­le­sen…

Tan­z­a­nia Part 4. The vac­ci­na­ti­on cam­paign in Tan­z­a­nia under Magufuli’s heirs

Unli­ke her pre­de­ces­sor, the new pre­si­dent, Samia Sulu­hu Hassan, sup­ports the vac­ci­na­ti­on cam­paign pro­mo­ted by the WHO, among others, and pushed it for­ward. She was also the first to be vac­ci­na­ted against Covid-19 on 28 July 2021 as a „role model“ for her com­pa­tri­ots. Howe­ver, the­re were also voices that doub­ted that the Pre­si­dent had been injec­ted with more than just a placebo.

Tan­z­a­nia Part 2: Did Mag­ufu­li want to lea­ve WHO?

Accor­ding to a Tan­z­a­ni­an insi­der known to the edi­to­ri­al team, Magafu­li had plans to lea­ve the WHO as well as a num­ber of other inter­na­tio­nal orga­ni­sa­ti­ons.

Tan­z­a­nia Part 1: A „bull­do­zer“ with few sym­pa­thies in the West

Of cour­se, such a rest­ric­tion of press free­dom is just as unde­mo­cra­tic as the exten­si­ve de fac­to exclu­si­on of cri­tics of the Coro­na mea­su­re from public dis­cour­se in the Fede­ral Repu­blic of Ger­ma­ny. Whe­re was the out­cry from Ger­man media repre­sen­ta­ti­ves the­re when US Pre­si­dent Donald Trump’s Twit­ter chan­nel was blo­cked? Whe­re did you see the front pages of the major Ger­man dai­lies show­ing outra­ge over the cen­sor­ship of various chan­nels of con­tra­ri­ans and other Coro­na mea­su­re cri­tics by You­Tube and Face­book, over the ban­ning of „Sput­nik“ and „RT DE“ or the dele­ti­on of the AfD’s Tik-Tok chan­nel? Whe­re was the outra­ge when the inter­na­tio­nal­ly renow­ned Ger­man ENT doc­tor Dr. Bodo Schiff­mann from Sins­heim in Ger­ma­ny first went on holi­day to Aru­sha in Tan­z­a­nia and then emi­gra­ted the­re becau­se media agi­ta­ti­on and legal­ly ques­tionable house sear­ches made a nor­mal life in Ger­ma­ny vir­tual­ly impos­si­ble? wei­ter­le­sen…
