The director of the World Health Organization (WHO), already under fire for his handling of the coronavirus, is facing more criticism for his ties to a political group that was designated as a terrorist organization by U.S. officials. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, known as Dr. Tedros, was one of the leaders of the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front, which was labeled a terrorist group by the United States. National Review demanded in 2017 that the WHO be defunded over Dr. Tedros' ties to the group, saying "Dr. Tedros ... is a leader of Ethiopia's brutal minority party, the Tigray People's Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling Marxist-rooted Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front. He served the violently repressive regime as minister of foreign affairs from 2012 to 2016, after a stint as health minister."
