A change of power in Tanzania could lead to the discovery of the truth about the scale of the Covid-19 epidemic / Article / LSM.lv

The number of people infected with Covid-19 has exceeded 124 million worldwide, and the virus appears to have reached almost every corner of the world. Sick not registered only in a number of remote islands and countries where relatively little is generally known, such as North Korea. Tanzania has also provided data on those infected, although the country has received generous funding to combat the spread of the virus. In recent weeks, the world’s attention has been focused on the country, as it is claimed that the president, Covid-19 skeptic, has died of complications caused by the virus. –

Tanzanian President John Magufuli was killed less than a week ago. Various commemorative events are taking place in the country this week, but on Thursday the politician will be buried in his hometown in the northern part of the country, Chateau. The death of Tanzanian President Covid-19, a skeptic, has caught the world’s attention. Although his official cause of death is heart failure, opposition politicians are convinced he died of complications from Covid-19. Sami Suluhu Hasan, the first woman in a high position in the country, has now taken office as President. Both the international community and the opposition are hoping for him.

Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lisu said: “The most important thing for the new president to do is to address the remaining issues of Magufuli. From the Covid crisis to political freedom and democracy in Tanzania. The most important thing is to resolve the Covid crisis, because she must take a decision on this as soon as possible. President Magufuli had closed himself out of the world, denying scientific achievements. And in the end it ended him. ”

Tanzania last reported cases to the World Health Organization (WHO) in May last year. Since then, official statistics have remained unchanged – 509 cases of infection have been registered in the country, 21 people have died. The Tanzanian president, like the Turkmen leader, questioned the reliability of the Covid-19 tests and the need to wear masks, denied the spread of the virus in the country and said it could be combated through prayer. Magufuli was also against vaccinating the population.

At the same time, Tanzania received generous funds and loans from the European Union, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the African Development Bank to combat the virus. One week before his death, the Tanzanian leader acknowledged that the virus was still dangerous.

Opposition spokesman Guy Bryce Parfett Collell also died on Monday. The cause of death is Covid-19. Before his death, Colella addressed the people of the country.

“My dear compatriots, I am in trouble. I’m fighting death right now. However, I ask you to vote for change so that my fight has not been in vain, “said the opposition.

Collell’s life was extinguished the day after the election, in which, according to preliminary results, he won the second largest number of votes after long-time head of state Denis Saso-Nguso.
