drol 11,923 Posted February 1, 2021 On 22/01/2021 at 13:57, drol said: Indeed it is spreading to Africaa and data are dramatically underestimated. Among nations heavily hit are Swaziland (both Prime Minister and Anglican Bishop of eSwatini dead from it), South Africa, Namibia (disappointed Nujoma survived), Zimbabwe (two government ministers dead), Burundi (likely Nkurunziza himself and former President Buyoya) and Ghana (former president Rawlings). Kenya and Tanzania seems to have been spared for now. Notable deaths are quite the only way to monitor the pandemic in those places, sadly death of common people is not really noted. Zanzibar VP Seif Sharif Hamad hospitalised with COVID. The current President of Zanzibar is Hussein Mwinyi, son of decrepit Tanzanian strongman Ali Hassan Mwinyi, who might be at risk.

"Cardinal Rodríguez Maradiaga, in a May 2002 interview with the Italian Catholic publication 30 Giorni, claimed that to divert attention from the Israeli-Palestinian crisis, Jews influenced the media to exploit the current controversy regarding sexual abuse by Catholic priests."
