No one in Africa will become a United Nations ambassador, even in his/her country of birth, unless they bow down and beg for supervision from Europe.

It is believed that Africans cannot do things for themselves without the Europeans.

The decision to rescind President Robert Mugabe's appointment as a World Health Organisation goodwill ambassador for non-communicable diseases in Africa is accomplishing the work done by the imperial slavery commanders.

If the UN cares about the health of African people, they wouldn't remove an African leader like Mugabe from Africa's health sector.

It is destructive for the systems of health in Africa.
