The World Health Organization (WHO) Representative in Sudan reportedly warned Tuesday of a "high risk of biological hazard" after one of the sides fighting in the conflict seized a central public laboratory with samples of measles and polio, creating an "extremely, extremely dangerous" situation.

Dr. Nima Saeed Abid, assigned to the post of WHO Representative in Sudan, effective Aug. 4, 2020, addressed reporters in Geneva, Switzerland, via video link.

"There is a huge biological risk associated with the occupation of the central public health lab... by one of the fighting parties," Abid said, according to Agence France-Presse.

> America’s influence in Africa has amounted to -ZERO- <

And it’s about to go negative. The other day I was listening to a talk give by an upper-class African guy. He was praising the Chinese to high heaven. The ChiComs were building all sorts of infrastructure in his country. The African guy thought that this was great.

Well, maybe it is. But eventually a loan shark will demand to be paid. I don’t think this African guy thought about that.

We stockpile biological weapons in every region of every country and call those sites "labs".

OR, Fed.gov (ie. people like Fauci) outsource the research to 3rd world nations, because then there is ZERO oversight over research, over money, over outbreaks.

Anything valuable discovered is patented and marketed by Pfizer, Fauci and friends, and any problems that occur? Has nothing to do with us!

>Enquiring minds want to know why they were left behind.

Probably because this is a Nuland color revolution trying to stop Russian expansion.

As backup for the Wuhan, China lab and the several in Ukraine.

No I don’t think so.
the turd world has been the turd world for a long time.

Much of it / most of it is related to failures in Islam.

All of it

There are many reasons for that, but I believe the primary reason is communists fundamental logic is very much akin to the basis for tribalism.

Africa readily merges with Islam for that basic premise, they’re both rooted in tribalism

Any involvement from the West game is Sudans resources....gold first and foremost. Also why the two armies are now fighting against each other. Nothing to do with Democracy.

The root in Africa is access to the vast gold mines and other resources. Islamic countries know the oil won’t flow indefinitely.

Because they have a lot of polio and measles?

Infectious Disease ping - Why are there research virus and bacteriological laboratories in war zones (Sudan)? Who thinks that this is a good idea ?

Navy Patriot (from the article):" The World Health Organization (WHO) Representative in Sudan reportedly warned Tuesday of a "high risk of biological hazard"
after one of the sides fighting in the conflict seized a central public laboratory with samples of measles and polio,
creating an "extremely, extremely dangerous" situation."

"Dr. Nima Saeed Abid, assigned to the post of WHO Representative in Sudan, effective Aug. 4, 2020, addressed reporters in Geneva, Switzerland, via video link."

"There is a huge biological risk associated with the occupation of the central public health lab... by one of the fighting parties,"

A while ago maps of US funded biolabs all over the place. Apparently Sudan was one of the unfortunately hellholes. Why the effing he!! has the US been funding biolabs? Actually I know the answer and it is not pretty.

You see how big the China footprint is in Sudan? They can do what they did in Sri Lanka if they want.

Well China is certainly involved in many nations and boldly so...including our own nation. Also, like the US, China will use whatever leverage it has in any nation to affect an outcome favorable for China’s agenda on the world stage. Most Western nations do likewise.

It is really quite interesting watching the world stage these days as things line up, shift and shift again....but we should not be afraid as we were told these things would come, rather trust God’s perfect plans and that He cared to prepare us for these times.
