 Colombia Declares National Emergency as Yellow Fever Outbreak Claims 34 Lives Colombia has declared a national health and economic emergency following a deadly yellow fever outbreak that has killed 34 people out of 74 confirmed cases since January. Health Minister Guillermo Jaramillo said the mosquito-borne virus, which carries a fatality rate of nearly 50%, has spread beyond traditional rural zones, now posing a wider threat. The hardest-hit area is Tolima, where cases jumped from four last September to 22 by mid-April. Authorities are urging mass vaccination and caution during Easter travel. Travelers in and out of the country may soon be required to present vaccination cards. President Gustavo Petro attributed the outbreak’s spread to climate change and warned unvaccinated citizens to avoid high-risk regions, especially the coffee belt. Meanwhile, the U.S. CDC has raised its yellow fever alert for parts of South America, including Colombia.

     Senate President took to his social media few minutes ago to post this photo with the caption ''Today, it was a pleasure to serve as the Chairman of the 7th Zik Lecture Series, held at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State.
The Great Zik was a pioneer of African liberation movements, one of those whose intellectual rigour, vision and mission as well as tenacity helped free Nigeria from the shackles of colonialism, and won us our independence.
Zik did not only move Nigeria, he moved the world. Just the other day, I was reading how, nearly 70 years ago at the British Peace Congress, held in 1949, Chief Azikiwe demanded for Nigeria’s independence; and denounced imperial rule at the seat of imperialism itself.
As we remember Zik today, we must also remind ourselves what we can still do to overcome the challenges of today; and we are inspired to strive for better, and to lift up our beloved country, as Zik once did''.
