World Health Organisation Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has revealed he has been receiving death threats and racism attacks for the last three months. Tedros said that the attacks directed to him are based on his stand to defend Africans at the time when they were being attacked based on colour. He said that he is a proud African from the black community despite racist comments directed to him. He added that “even death threats, I do not care because it is personally directed to me.”Tedros was making a press conference on Wednesday on the progress of WHO regarding the coronavirus. On Monday, the WHO Director General during a video press conference termed the comments racist and a hangover from the “colonial mentality.”
