Tedros Adhanom, the director-general of the WHO—allegedly personifies the erosion in impartiality and rectitude expected from such a storied body. According to one Ethiopian newspaper, Tedros was listed as the third most important member of the TPLF’s politburo standing committee. As an important TPLF member, Tedros joined the Ethiopian health ministry and rose through the ranks to become the country’s health minister in 2005. Also, by the time Tedros left office as health minister, the Amhara region was severely underperforming in health indicators as compared to the Tigray region. Digging a little deeper, it is evident that Tedros was on a campaign to rewrite his questionable past on this aspect.
