Burkina Faso: Traore-Led Junta Halts Bill Gates Anti-Malaria Project | Firstpost Africa | N18G



Burkina Faso’s military junta has suspended Target Malaria, a Gates Foundation–funded programme aimed at curbing malaria by releasing genetically modified mosquitoes. Authorities ordered the project to halt all operations and destroy samples, citing sovereignty and safety concerns. The decision comes as anti-Western sentiment grows under leader Ibrahim Traoré, who has cut ties with the U.S. and France while moving closer to Russia. Critics and pro-Russian activists accuse the initiative of using Africans as “guinea pigs” and pushing hidden agendas of population control. The suspension marks a major setback for global efforts to combat malaria in one of Africa’s worst-hit nations.

  1. This reporter is a professional propagandist for the Gates Foundation. There are 100s of shorts online with Gates excitedly explaining how population reduction is his goal. Biological terrorism requires millions of dollars for research and development, testing ground, and political subterfuge. This news outlet cannot be trusted. Rise Africa!!!

  2. Presidente Traore, junta são vocês jornalistas, pois deveriam ser imparciais na comunicação mas parecem espiões… A forma que distorcem informação percebe se perfeitamente… Respeite presidente dos outros

  3. Malaria is no longer a problem in the West and is difficult to contract. Furthermore, this type of mosquito has been around for years; they're even used in Brazil. Traore's choice is purely ideological; you don't mess around with health.
