In Côte d'Ivoire, healthcare workers are angry. They protest against the lack of resources in the fight against the coronavirus epidemic. The Ministry of Health promises to resolve the situation very quickly.

In South Africa, the president suspended one of his ministers, denounced on social networks for having participated in a party with friends in flagrant violation of anti-coronavirus confinement.

Finally we return in this newspaper to the interview on French television which provoked anger beyond the borders of France. A doctor and a researcher refer to Africa as "a testing ground" to test a potential vaccine against Covid-19. The condemnations are very numerous and several leaders denounce "racist" remarks. To talk about it, we find the researcher Codjo Hountondji, professor at the Sorbonne, who signs with other personalities a forum entitled "No, Africans are not laboratory rats of Westerners!".
