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.

It is noted that Tinubu was first elected to this post in Guinea-Bissau on July 9, 2023.

The ECOWAS Chairman appointed Senegalese President Bassira Diomai Fay and Togolese President Faure Essosimne Gnassingbé as special envoys to Burkina Faso, Mali and the Niger Republic.

Earlier, the head of the ruling National Council for the Defense of the Fatherland (CNSP) in Niger, General Abdurrahman Tchiani, said that the peoples of the three countries of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES, which includes Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso) “once and for all” turned their backs on ECOWAS. The Nigerian leader also called for the AES to be made “an alternative to any artificial regional unification by creating a sovereign community of peoples, a community far from the control of foreign powers.” According to Tchiani, the Sahel Alliance is “the only sub-regional association effective in the fight against terrorism.”
