There will be a string of scapegoats before this scourge is over. I had supported this countryman when his candidacy was announced and applauded when he was chosen for the position. But there were two occasions when I was somewhat befuddled by the way he reacted to the epidemic and heaped unjustified praise on China. Many quarters in the medical and scientific quarters screaming at and begging WHO to declare a pandemic. That was when a physician at the origin of the pandemic in Wuhan was crying foul about this novel virus and how it was making many gravely sick leading to their agonizing death. That doctor himself had succumbed to the virus. China had been hiding the explosion in Wuhan from the rest of the world for at least two months. The commies there had done the same thing in 2002 about SARS. China never deserved the praise this countryman heaped on her. His relationship to Beijing during his term as the foreign minister of the old country should not travel all the way to WHO with him. There was no reason or justification to praise China in a way he did. He should have left his old baggage behind in Addis/Finfine.

But still I don't think he should resign or lose his job on this but he should contrite about it. I vehemently disagree with that Indian pundit Gravitas. India has a long running border feud with the commies in Beijing and she wants Tedros to do India's dirty work. That ain't gonna fly with me.

One other thing I have a hard time to agree with him is about Taiwan. I know Taiwan since the 1970's. I still have Taiwanese citizens who I befriended since then. We still keep in touch. They are the first foreign friends who checked with me to see how I am doing after the pandemic became so widespread here in the USA. They were worried about me. I have stayed in cities like Taipei, Tainan, Taichung, Kaohsiung and other mfg hub cities. I never had any bad treatment from anyone of their citizens. They are very hardworking people and highly educated. They have made that island a beacon of democratic rule since the 1980's. WHO should have never treated that gem just to serve the interests of those gangsters in Beijing.

This countryman is in a conundrum now and I am very curious how the European nations are going to react to President Trump’s decision to withhold the funding(in excess of $200 million). Even if other western countries choose to differ with President Trump they will be tempted to ask questions who, what and when those in this organization, WHO, knew about this deadly virus. That is: When did they hear about it? What was the content of what they knew when it emerged in China? Particularly, when did Dr. Tedros hear about it and what did he know/hear about the virus? My gut feeling is someone in the organization knew about it way before anyone else in the profession. If the commies were able to blind side WHO from the outset, then his praise on them was unqualified and might have been politicized on his part. This must be thoroughly investigated. This is not just walk in the park. Tens of thousands have died from the deadly virus, millions are infected by and suffering from it. Millions may die before it is said and done. The world economy is thrown asunder because of it. Meanwhile, I hope President Trump will give his decision a 2nd thought about it.

I just read news that some of these countries in the Arabian Peninsula have started deporting Ethiopian by their thousands to the old country. This will bring back more and more people who might be carriers the virus to the old country. It adds to the burden on the country’s already fragile healthcare system. Those deresas of Wahhabism don’t care about others but themselves. It is cruel and inexcusable. This is tantamount to terrorism. Given the fact that colder and wetter season is just a month away which can be more favorable environment for virus to spread at more alarming speed, such dumping of thousands of potential carriers of the virus is like throwing more gasoline into the fire. This may end up being a nightmare. The low number of confirmed cases in the country now does not mean that everything is under control. We have seen it here already. It may be at its rehearsal stage over there. I am having a nightmare for those upright and so generous people. That is why I have sought refuge in The Almighty Our Creator and begging Him for Mercy!!! Those of you God Fearing compatriots please join me in my prayers!!! It does not matter which creed you observe. He Will Listen to our pleas with clean hearts. May Our Creator Save Us All Humanity. This Shall Pass!!!!

It is a mad, mad, mad world!!! Add COVID-19 to that it is becoming even madder than ever out there!!!

So far authorities there seem to be doing the right things, ahead of the curve so to say. They should be commended for that. It seems our over qualified daughter/sister of ours Dr. Liya is plugging away with what best she has in her hands to fight the scourge. What can I say about the unique gift/skills inherent in our women? I hope sooner if not later they will run the government from top all the way to the bottom. Hey you! You, you know who you are!! One word out of you!!! One word!!!

Those commies in Beijing are none different than demonic gangsters. They are Kevin O-Dogs hoodlums riding on the backs of more than 1.5 billion citizens. Just look what they had done in 2002 during the SARS epidemic and now during the COVID-19 pandemic. In both cases they were hiding the outbreaks from the world until the virus blew up in their commie faces. The meanest thing they did this time was when they closed all movement and traffic from Wuhan where the pandemic began to all domestic destination but they were still letting outbound international flight out of that city exporting the virus to all corners of the globe. They did not stop at that. They were fudging the death toll numbers all along. The first day they reported confirmed cases, boom, there were 444. That was on January 22. 2020 but the virus was raging in Wuhan and its state for at least a month possibly for two months. O’Boy!!! That just makes my blood boil in anger. O! Commies! O’ Commies!!! O' You lying demons!!! Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao along with all your mualims & deresas! Burn in hell!!!!

Already buried under the pile of rubbish and irrelevance.

As I had mentioned that before someone, somewhere and somehow had dropped the ball on this one. This is not some locally confined virulent pathogen but an easily transmitted deadly virus that has killed more than 175,000 citizens of the world. My gut feeling is at least twice that many may have already died from it with no end in sight. Experts are finding out more and more people who have died from it at home. And there is a cooked up number from the commies in Beijing. This must be thoroughly and independently investigated. There is no guarantee that hundreds of millions more will not be infected by the virus. More and more new things are being discovered about COVID-19 on daily basis. Now social distancing may not be enough since there is new evidence that the virus can spread in dining rooms and work places through the ventilation systems. The global economy that was roaring is now biting the dust everywhere. This is not just something that should be thrown under the rug and forget about it. Someone must have known about this way back in middle of fall. The independent investigating global body should find out who and when found out or heard about it beginning with those demons in Beijing and those in WHO organization and governments around the world. Heads should be rolling on this one. Scientists and concerned medical experts have been forewarning governments for a long time for crying out loud. Henceforth, the world will never be the same. Never!!! Privileges we were taking for granted may be gone forever. The carnage may be just ahead of us especially in those so-called developing nations such as the old country. The low number we see now could be just a rehearsal before the storm. Colder and moist season is just a month away. Boundaries on all 4 corners are so porous there it would be just impossible to keep tally on trespassers. The intolerable heat wave will start suffocating the hotspot Djibouti soon and it is in the tradition there for the citizens spending the searing months in Eastern Hararghe areas along the old railway line and Afar region. With clan affinities I am not sure you will be able to stop this seasonal migration.
I am preparing myself for carnage by the pandemic over there. That is why I have been seeking refuge in the Mercy of The Good Lord The Almighty Our Creator. We need His Divine Intervention more than ever!!!! Remember that potentially effective vaccination is at least 18 months away. O’ Commies!!! O’ You Demonic Commies!!! You Will Burn in Hell!!!1

Please read that as: With clan affinities I am not sure how you will be able to control this seasonal migration.

There you go. This is what I have been saying and which worries me the most. The border between these two nations, Djibouti & Ethiopia, has been porous for centuries. That is because there are members of same clans from both Afar and Somali ethnic groups living in both countries. There is also a seasonal activity that has become a custom during the three months of June, July and August. Djibouti experiences one of the top five hot climates on earth during these months. So citizens there send their wives, children and other vulnerable members of their families to the cooler Ethiopia. They don’t even need to book hotel rooms for that because they will stay with their cousins who are citizens of the old country. That shouldn’t have been an issue at all. It shows how these two nations are made of brothers and sisters and that is a blessing. They also pump seasonal revenue into the economy in communities they spend those searing months. But now there is a devil among them sworn to kill every living and breathing Afar and Issa out there called COVID-19. Controlling these seasonal movements effectively is going to be a headache. Who dares to tell his/her cousin ‘No, you can’t come here to spend the summer months with me’. It is that very unlikely to say at least. That is why it is going to be a mighty tall order for anyone to control such seasonal migration. That is where elders could have played a valuable role but thanks to the Mualims of Marx, Lenin and Mao their critical influence on their communities has been severely chipped away and eroded during the last 45 or so years. Comparing to its larger neighbors Djibouti is being clobbered by this pandemic with close to 1,000 confirmed cases. This is going to be a nightmare. May The Almighty Our Creator Have Mercy On Those Harmonious People!!!!

This countryman is in a gauntlet now. As I have said before, he should never have praised China for its handling of the pandemic from the first day it came to the attention of those commies in Wuhan and Beijing. There was no reason or pressing need for him to do so. I have no factual information about the ideology he uses as a guideline but the praise he heaped on those commies makes him a suspect. Again even he is proven to be a communist he should not lose his job as long as he does not use his position to promote the ideology or gush glowing praise for its pushers. I will wait until the matter is thoroughly and independently investigated. May be The WHO has outlived its functionality in its current form and it is time to replace it with a new body with new principles and by-laws outside the UN umbrella. It looks to have been turned into a politicized organization. Let’s face the fact. For me he was qualified for the job and he was not the only to have had the qualifications. But he had one more ‘entitlement claim’ on his resume: An African and a black man. Otherwise he would not have been given the mantle if he was an African of North African stock or a South African Afrikaner lily white man/woman.

Again, this countryman had no business praising those number fudging demons in Beijing.

Hey! Where do you think you’re going? You are just getting buried under a pile of you know what!
