LONDON (AP) — The head of the World Health Organization has slammed the global community for its focus on the war in Ukraine, arguing that crises elsewhere, including in his home country of Ethiopia, are not being given equal consideration, possibly because those suffering are not white.
WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus questioned “if the world really gives equal attention to black and white lives,” given that the ongoing emergencies in Ethiopia, Yemen, Afghanistan and Syria have garnered only a “fraction” of the global concern for Ukraine. He was speaking in a virtual press briefing from Geneva on Wednesday.
Last month, Tedros said there is ”nowhere on earth where the health of millions of people is more under threat” than Ethiopia’s Tigray region.
Tedros acknowledged that the war in Ukraine is globally significant, but asked if other crises are being accorded enough attention.
“I need to be blunt and honest that the world is not treating the human race the same way,” he said. “Some are more equal than others.”

He’s got a point.
Look at what happens daily in Nigeria with Muslims attacking Christians, nobody here reports on it.
And the clockwise swirl down the porcelain drain continues. SMDH!
And ... who cares?
It’s the shiny new thing for the neocons in their alliance with the Democrat party.
RACE! RACE!!! SEX!!! SEX!!! GAY SEX!!! GAY SEX!!! ABORTION!!! ABORTION!!! ABORTION!!! These are ALL the LIBERALS TALK ABOUT!!
Ukraine is all about the Biden crime family…they couldn’t get enough payola (remember that word?) from Africa, so who cares about the Africans? But maybe Africans should count themselves lucky. We’re not protecting them against Arab Muslim bands, but at least we’re not empowering the Muslims. This is simply because we don’t care. And it’s all based on $$$.
“including in his home country of Ethiopia”
Well, the whole Horn of Africa has been a mess of civil wars for decades. Nobody can sustain caring about a problem for that long in this short-attention span generation.
Even Ray Charles could see this coming...
He has a point. If you were an African or a Yemeni, or some other kind of brown urchin, it would be very off-putting to watch the wailing and rending of clothing at the idea of “war in Europe” as though THAT is the forbidden line.
If anyone wants kill brown people, that doesn’t bother NATO or the EU so much.
oooOOO …. globalist Cat Fight!!!
So the verdict is in? Supporters of the Ukraine are racist.
Yes, because we report on the “news” and there is absolutely nothing new about tribal wars and barbarity in Africa. It’s one of the oldest stories on the planet.
The WHO is a Chinese puppet organization. So whenever WHO says something, I assume it will somehow benefit China in the long run.
Am I being too suspicious here? I think not.
Because they are lazy. The Clintons managed to clean up on Haiti, and you can't get any more 4th world than that.
I thought BLM was created for that purpose. Is it international yet ?
He is right. He should ask himself why that is.
Racism wasn’t a huge problem back in the day 70’s 80’s UNTIL the left started insisting that it was- everyone just got along- but no more- the left have seen to that!
I don’t see any African countries coming to Ukraine’s defense. Accordingly, they are obviously racist.
