COVID-19: A TRISTE SITUAÇÃO NA CERCA SANITÁRIA DE ANGOLA

 A TRISTE SITUAÇÃO NA CERCA SANITÁRIA DO FUTUNGO (LUANDA)

- É tão simples dizer “triste” o que aconteceu com a minha vizinha aqui na zona do Futungo. A mesma está sempre fechada dentro de casa, até porque ela é enfermeira. Por volta das 16h 20 de ontem 28/5, apareceu um grupo de técnicos de saúde acompanhados de um aparato militar, armados como se de guerra fria se tratasse, bateram a porta com a seguinte informação: “ A menina tal... é sua filha? R: Sim, ela testou positivo da Covid -19. A senhora entrou em pânico, questionando se os técnicos de saúde estivessem mesmo a falar verdade... “Esta menina nunca saiu de casa, excepto quando fomos fazer os testes, disse a senhora.


Triste triste triste

Há possibilidade de a China ter vendido testes falsos a muitos países da Europa, espero que não estejamos a viver a mesma situação.

Algo vai mal, mas muito mal com os testes que são descarregados todos os dias alí no aeroporto 4 de Fevereiro.

* A população está cansada, basta ver os níveis de insatisfação que se vive aqui no Futungo. Até a televisão está limitada nas suas reportagens aqui neste Bairro, por esta razão, lançamos o  seguinte apelo:

-A comissão Multissectorial deve comprar testes dos Estados Unidos ou Alemanha para confrontar com os da China. Infelizmente, a China não é um país credível para um negócio tão sensível.
Repito, há falsos positivos nesses testes da China.

* Estamos a repetir o caso de resultados falsos de HIV, em que milhares de pessoas durante muitos anos se entupiram de medicamentos virais, quando na verdade estavam bem de saúde.... Tal acto, originou um desgaste a saúde, e muitos hoje vivem de hemodiálise e terapias por se terem intoxicado com comprimidos sem justa causa.

* Como é de hábito, o regime em vez de investigar, vai querer me mandar prender por estar a alertar a sociedade.

They are continuing their operations to the best of their abilities and supporting the governments and the local populations, despite the risk of #COVID-19.

The theme for this year’s Day is “Women in Peacekeeping: A Key to Peace” to help mark the 20th anniversary of the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security.

Women peacekeepers make invaluable contributions to peacekeeping. They help improve overall peacekeeping performance, have greater access to communities, especially to women, and therefore, help in promoting human rights and protection of civilians. They also encourage women to become a meaningful part of peace and political processes; when diverse women participate in peace negotiations, the quality and durability of peace agreements increases, and when women are signatories of peace agreements, they are more likely to be implemented, which academic research shows helps to ensure sustainable peace and prosperity.

COVID-19: Angola records four more cases of community transmission. A two month-old baby tests positive for covid-19

A new outbreak of infection with the new coronavirus has been recorded in Luanda. "COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION"

The ministry of health reported today in a press conference that in the last 24 hours, 4 more cases of community transmission were registered in the country, totaling 77 confirmed positive cases.

These are two men (one aged 16 and another aged 35) and two women (one aged 25 and another aged 49), thus bringing the number of cases of  transmission to 49.


From the laboratory work, more than 10,000 samples have been collected to date, of which 77 are positive, 8,195 are negative and the rest are still being processed.

A two-month-old baby tests positive for covid-19

A two-month-old baby, resident in the Hoji-ya-Henda neighborhood, Cazenga municipality, in Luanda, who tested positive for Covid-19. According to the Minister of Health, who was updating the pandemic situation in the country, this case is under investigation, because the mother has no Covid-19, but had contact with positive cases. 

“The child was tested positive, there have already been many cases of disagreement by the form of contagion, with patients of high viral load who lived with wives and children, but were not contaminated, " she said.

The outbreak of covid-19

The first cases of covid-19 are manifesting only now after two months. There was negligence on the part of the government for having sent home passengers that came from Portugal and fulfill the quarantine at home. These passengers violated the prevention rules, thus contaminating many people. 

The most frightening thing is that the government decided to open schools next month, because teachers from private schools are claiming for their salaries. This will put the lives of many people at risk. 

Angola does not have any distance learning system. Moreover, the Internet is very expensive and not all teachers as well as students have digital literacy, no matter how much they try to do video conferencing through the zoom app, it is not working at all. Online class in Angola has been a huge failure.

Private institutions require students to pay tuition fees so that teachers can have salaries. Students refuse to pay tuition because they are sitting at home without having classes and schools are closed.

The jobs of the parents of many of these students have also been affected by Coronavirus, they are all at home without working. Where are they going to get money to pay for their kid’s tuition?

UN and other organisations are moving from conference rooms to online spaces

For the past few weeks the UN and other organisations are moving from conference rooms to online spaces. This is somehow triggering a profound change in the way diplomacy is conducted.

Although the Internet has remained resilient. Internet Society mentioned, "there is no single “Internet” to catastrophically fail."

Speaking about #diplomacy, does online platforms need to offer stability, security as well as centuries-old rules of protocol in diplomacy?

The voice of young African feminists against COVID-19

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN MUST STOP

The world is battling against a pandemic claiming many lives across nations and distorting global trade, travel and economies. The coronavirus disease, (COVID-19) has become a global emergency considering the effects on global growth.  

As the pandemic is further affecting employment, education and the mental health of African youth, we acknowledge that COVID-19 is also bringing to light the profound gender disparity in the various sectors. Several studies have predicted an increase in cases of Gender-Based Violence as a result of the lockdowns as victims are trapped with their abusers without adequate assistance. 

The voice of young African feminists must be a crucial part of the conversation. Particularly, those who are caught in the digital divide. Rural and marginalized young women are mostly not connected and therefore miss out on the empowerment of the digital revolution. This exclusion also impacts the development field, as young women may not have the opportunities to communicate how COVID19 is affecting their realities, and alternative solutions to this pressing global challenge. In addition, the mainstream narrative portrays the challenges and achievements of women without a critical insight into the intersection of barriers they face. 

Therefore, we want to draw attention to Young African Women’s struggles, advocacy and achievements in fighting the global pandemic COVID19 and amplify their voices and actions.
