WHO Chief Accused Of Misconduct By Ethiopia

Jan 15, 2022 | Pratirodh Bureau

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, an ethnic Tigrayan, has repeatedly deplored the situation in his home country and called for humanitarian access to the conflict-ridden region of Ethiopia

The government of Ethiopia has sent a letter to the World Health Organization, accusing its Ethiopian director-general of misconduct, after his sharp criticism of the war and humanitarian crisis in the African country.

Ethiopia nominated Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to be the head of the UN health agency four years ago, but says he has not lived up to the integrity and professional expectations required from his office, accusing him of interfering in Ethiopia’s internal affairs, according to a press release issued late on Thursday.

“Through his acts, (Tedros) spread harmful misinformation and compromised WHO’s reputation, independence and credibility,” Ethiopia’s ministry of foreign affairs said.

WHO had no immediate response to the claims.

Tedros, an ethnic Tigrayan, has repeatedly deplored the situation in his home country and called for humanitarian access to the conflict-ridden region of Ethiopia.

“Nowhere in the world are we witnessing hell like Tigray,” said Tedros at a media briefing on Wednesday.

He cited a missive WHO had received recently from a physician in the region, who said health authorities had run out of basic medicines for diseases, including diabetes, in June and were now using expired stocks and intravenous fluids.

Tedros condemned Ethiopia’s blockade of international access to Tigray, saying that WHO had not been allowed to send any supplies to the region since July, noting the UN agency had access to Syria and Yemen even during their worst conflicts.

He said there should be unfettered humanitarian access to Tigray and that just respecting the constitutional order would bring this problem to a “peaceful conclusion”.

He continued: “Of course, I am from that region and from the northern part of Ethiopia. But I am saying this without any bias. ”

The Ethiopian government said Tedros was using his office to advance his political interest at the expense of Ethiopia and that he continues to be an active member of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front; Tedros was foreign minister and health minister when the TPLF dominated the country’s ruling coalition.

The Tigray People’s Liberation Front, the political party that runs the Tigray region, has been clashing with Ethiopian federal forces since the country’s Nobel Peace Prize-winning prime minister accused the heavily armed regional government of attacking a military base.

Each government regards the other as illegitimate after a months-long falling-out amid political reforms.

In September, France, Germany and other European countries nominated Tedros for a second term as WHO’s director-general, the first time any candidate was not supported by his or her home country.

Tedros is expected to be confirmed for another five-year term in May, as he is running unopposed.

Under Tedros, WHO came under withering criticism from the Trump administration over allegations of grievous missteps in responding to COVID-19 and for allegedly colluding with China in the early phases of the outbreak.

Tedros has been a leading voice urging rich countries and vaccine makers to do more to improve access to COVID shots in the developing world — a call that has largely gone unheeded.
Last year, WHO faced mounting pressure over revelations from an AP investigation and an independent panel that found senior management were informed of sexual abuse allegations during the agency’s response to an Ebola outbreak in Congo.
