Listen to the Sat. Jan. 30, 2021 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the announcement by the Republic of Zimbabwe government that it is moving to a level 4 lockdown as a result of the increase in COVID-19 infections; African Union (AU) member-states are ordering millions of doses of vaccines to meet the challenges of the pandemic on the continent; South Sudan says that it would serve as the headquarters of a hybrid court aimed at adjudicating human rights cases; and the Great Lakes states are calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Central African Republic (CAR). In the second hour we delve deeper into the burning and pressing issues with reports on events in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, CAR and other states. Finally, we listen to a briefing from the World Health Organization (WHO) Director General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, along with a team of specialists analyzing the pandemic and the mitigation efforts underway internationally.
