Dear Doctor Jean-Paul Mira and Camille Locht, Belated “congratulations” on your proposals to establish gigantic laboratories for covid-19 vaccine because the black continent lacks necessary health infrastructure to defend its poor people from this deadly virus!!

Where is the credibility of professional doctors?? Why don’t you turn to China, Italy, Spain, and America?? Is it because Africa is poor? Hence, all African people are rats waiting for your colonialistic- neoliberal laboratory tests for covid-19!! Did God mentioned in the pine books you- shameful doctors- read that the black continent is a place where you can carry out all “dirty tests”for selfish goals?? Have the French science books showed that the black skin is the best for covid-19 test??

Shame upon you, Capitalism doctors, Europe has “raped” Africa since 1884 till 1914. The broad-daylight robbery is still continuing in the name of "aid" to Africa till now.

Many Africans were taken to fight the first and second world wars, for the selfishness of Europe. Later, the Italians killed Ethiopians, the French maimed Algerians, Germans murdered Namibians, the Belgians massacred the Congolese, the British killed many in East and West Africa, the list is endless- all these were genocides that Europe has not come out to confess her crimes till now. What else can we expect as Africans from the so called “advanced countries” whose hands are stained with African blood?!

African countries are all surrounded with western military bases whose aim is not to protect poor Africans, but to destabilize the continent, steal its resources, use pide and rule system to tear African nations into shreds.

It is sheer madness for so called “doctors of advanced countries” to appear in a live discussion and propose to establish laboratories in Africa for the covid-19 that is threatening the whole world. Save the universe, Africa is facing many problems because of European interference.

Doctor Mira and Locht, what prompted you to think of such a horrible idea?? Do you want to maim all Africans, so that you enjoy their resources, are you soon making biological tests to wipe out all African people?? What have they done?? Much blood has been shed in Africa because of European weapons. Now you- so called European professional doctors wants to also make biological weapons to increase more silent blood shed through establishing covid-19 laboratories!

Mira, head of the intensive-care department at the Cochin Hospital in Paris, Locht, research director at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research, the question posed to you. Why Africa? Why Africans? Why the black continent?

Oh French professional doctors, the prostitutes you are talking about go to streets because of problems created by European countries that colonized their countries, pided them- this one is speaking French, another English, another German, another Portuguese and so on. Prostitution in Africa is not a hobby, oh educated doctors of the West!

I am writing this letter, wishing that the warm red blood- that is the colour of your blood too- in my jumbled veins, run on this letter, painting it dark red, so that you understand that the sons and daughters know the dirty European history in Africa.

We knew that it was the missionaries and explorers who came to Africa to steal resources, but of late, we have learnt that doctors, like you, are in the same wagon to scramble Mama Africa. Enough is Enough.

Many African babies are dying of Malaria and other killer diseases, but we have not heard any of you coming out, proposing laboratories to treat them!

Many pregnant mothers are dying on daily basis, but no European doctor has proposed the establishment of laboratories to save lives!

European politicians always brag that they offer aid to Africa, but what they take from this continent is far greater than the aid they keep bragging about in their media conferences.

Mira and Locht, is there any African leader who requested you to offer biological assistance? (not financial assistance from IMF or World Bank) If any, then can you mention their names?

Mira and Locht, If you were professional doctors with great hearts- good samaritans, you could have gone to the Chinese province when the virus first exploded! Or to Italy or Spain. You Europeans claim that you are united; unity impels you health professionals to support the EU block before turning to Africa, where the virus is still limited! The priority MUST be Europe first, or West first.

Mira and Locht, you two should have borrowed a leaf from US President Donald Trump’s idea- US First to fight this covid-19 in EU First in Europe at large and Paris especially; establish laboratories in Italy and Spain first.

Mira and Locht, the US is requesting professional doctors to go and help health officers in New York. I think you are all democratic countries, your papers and health skills are highly needed in the US not Africa. Go and establish your covid-19 laboratories in America and help the so called advanced democratic countries or allies.

No African leader has requested your help. We believe in one God who is in the heaven, who created us all, who has not revealed a pine book saying that a certain race is superior than the other. We are all sons and daughters of Adam and Eve.

At the time when France- your country- is waging “war of masks” with the biggest economy in the world, it is logical for you, professional doctors, to propose to French companies to spin its industrial wheels to produce masks in order to fight covid-19 rather than thinking of Africa.

At least, Jack Ma has to come to the help of Africa by donating masks to 54 African countries. This is Chinese, what has Europe done??, rather than this devilish idea of covid-19 laboratories by so called French doctors.

We are not in need of your laboratories, which will not be financed by Europeans but by African resources which will in turn kill so many Africans, so that the 'white man', whose pine book shows that he is superior and others are rats that must be exposed to any hellish experiments, can enjoy the resources.

I wish the late Robert Mugabe was alive today, he would have responded to you better than any other African leader. This is the time Mama Africa needs brave people like late Mugabe to react since he knew the devilish plans of the West better.

Mira and Locht, "Charity starts at home", establish these laboratories in France First- take a leaf from Trump, then Italy, followed by Spain. You can send your credentials to US embassy in Paris so that you can go and save Americans in New York. Mama Africa relies on God only. Europe has never never never been a good samaritan.

Thanks to Samuel Etoo, Didier Drogba, who have raised their voices to stop this Western nonsense in our continent. We need to hear voices of African Union, presidents, CEO's, and parliaments. Europe should know its limits.

More letter on the way…
