WHO chief: Focus on Ukraine shows bias against black lives

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.”

True. The EU and NATO care about what happens on their borders.

Ok, so now WHO is doing BLM activism. Why are they paid for that instead of doing their job?

“Well, the whole Horn of Africa has been a mess of civil wars for decades.”

As opposed to the stability of the Bloodlands? Who could ever say that in the last 100 years, that area was Russian Empire, then German, then a brand new Poland, then Nazi and Soviet, the Holodomor, then a decade of purges. Then Nazi came and Ukes helped kill as many Jews as they could, then the Nazis really carried the load. Then the Soviets came back and then the western Ukes started shooting them, then 20 years of guerilla warfare stoked by the CIA dropping in spies and OUN types during the cold war, then Solidarity brings down the USSR. Then the CIA and USAID jump right back in. The Uke nazis grow in domestic power to a shocking degree. Then a poisoned candidate from President, then the Orange Revolution, then a back and forth of looter presidents. Then CIA gets the Maidan going and installs a new guy. So the new guys immediately attack the Donbass. NATO thinks it looks fun and starts poking the bear every chance it gets.

If Ukraine has not been a mess for decades, I do not know what a mess would look like.

Has Ethiopia ever not been in the midst of a famine?

Basically they are pulling an AIDS tolerance before covid crisis card.

By pushing people and forcing them to love blacks (which is a form of rape, to force love), they build in the unconscious actual reactive racism just as during the “hug gay druggy AIDS” patient days built up a phobia of virus infected people in the unconscious that yielded us the Covid.

If you hate everyone and everyone hates you and each other, then you are not racist. It is the unholy trinity of the globalists: hate others as you hate yourselves and hate as I as an Obama leader hated you.

Yeah, but we are also insisting places like India, the Saudis, and even Venezuela care about it just as deeply.
That is the point of his remarks.
The EU and NATO think the whole world should be just as upset.

And the bigger question to ask is just what the hell he is actually doing to fix the situation in his own country except to bitch about outsiders.

How many people really care about the Ukrainians and Russians? They care about the interruptions of the flow of products from that region.

I think they also care because the Russians have nuclear weapons.

I was referring to who and their black lives agenda. Not the Ukraine conflict, about which I do care. Say hi to your buddy, Pootie.

Look over your shoulder and say hi to your purple faced butt buddy Schwab. He's just about finished in you.

He’s right. War in Ethiopia is much worse, and true ethnic cleansing. Not the idiot Hatfield and McCoys going on in Donbas, brought to you by, the CIA.

He’s right.

As right as WHO was about the origin and spread of the Wuhan Flu?
