WHO has recognized Egypt as a malaria-free country. WHO has certified Egypt as a malaria-free country, marking a historic milestone in the fight against the disease, the organization said in a press release. “The World Health Organization (WHO) has certified Egypt as malaria-free, a significant public health achievement for a country of more than 100 million people,” the organization said in a statement on its website. The WHO added that the achievement was the result of “nearly 100 years of efforts by the Egyptian government and people” to prevent the disease, which has been prevalent in the country since ancient times. WHO grants malaria-free status to a country if it provides detailed and reliable evidence that the chain of transmission of malaria-carrying mosquitoes has been interrupted throughout its entire territory for at least the last three years. Malaria is an infection transmitted through a mosquito bite. WHO previously reported that despite progress, the African region continues to be hit hardest by the deadly disease.

Russia demands release of Sputnik editor-in-chief Lithuania Kasem

Russia demands release of Sputnik editor-in-chief Lithuania Kasem

Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko said that Russia will make every effort to release Marat Kasem, editor-in-chief of the Sputnik Lithuania agency, arrested in Latvia.

“Those who do not adhere to the training manual are simply rudely silenced. One of the latest examples is the detention of Marat Kasem, editor-in-chief of the Sputnik Lithuania agency, whose immediate release we demand and will make every effort to ensure that he is released. Now in our time journalists are back on the front lines,” she said.

In the Russian Foreign Ministry, Kasem’s arrest was considered the revenge of the dictatorial regimes for the journalist’s adherence to principles and the policy of terror against dissidents. The Human Rights Council under the President of Russia, Ombudsman Tatyana Moskalkova appealed to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media and the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights with a request to intervene in the situation with the arrest of Kasem.
