GENEVA | BRAZZAVILLE (IDN) \u2013 While COVID-19 pandemic is playing havoc with the global economy and a frantic search continues for a vaccine, thanks to a concerted campaign of immunization, Africa is free of a highly infectious disease which mainly affects children under 5 years of age. It is a significant development marking the eradication of the second virus from the face of the continent since smallpox 40 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday is a historic day for Africa,\u201d said Professor Rose Gana Fomban Leke, Chairperson of the African Regional Certification Commission for Polio eradication (ARCC), which has declared the region free of polio.\u00a0JAPANESE<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0SPANISH<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MUSINA, South Africa (IDN) \u2013 His three teenage children play home-made paper ball on the dusty streets of Musina, exercise books scattered on the veranda of their rented home in the South African border town with Zimbabwe. Yet Gerald Gava, the children\u2019s 47-year old father, lies on a reed mat spread on the veranda, apparently with nothing to do after he stopped working three months ago as the lockdown took toll on the construction company that employed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gava, who is a migrant from Zimbabwe, said even his children have had to remain home as schools also shut down, thanks to the coronavirus that has pounded the entire globe.\u00a0JAPANESE<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0SWAHILI<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW YORK (IDN) \u2013 \u2018Black Lives Matter\u2019 can take credit for the scores of apologies from around the world for racist statues, discriminatory corporate policies and now from the Bronx Zoo for its cruel and racist display of an African man in a cage in 1906.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the name of equality, transparency, and accountability, we must confront our organization\u2019s historic role in promoting racial injustice as we advance our mission to save wildlife and wild places,\u201d officials with the\u00a0Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS)<\/a>\u00a0said a\u00a0statement<\/a>\u00a0released to the press on July 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
