 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.

DHQ Refutes Receiving Requests To Topple Government



Defence Headquarters has urged peddlers of falsehood to desist from such or face the law as the Military and other security agencies are on the look out for them.


Reacting to a social media report that the Armed Forces of Nigeria had received requests to effect change of leadership in the country which it termed false and disturbing, DHQ reiterated that the Armed Forces of Nigeria never received nor made such declaration at any time to anyone or any group. 


A statement signed by the Director Defence Information, Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, on the issue, believes the statement came from those who do not wish the nation well and tagged it the wicked imagination of a few who are not happy with the progress and well-being of the country. 


It said, the military is very comfortable with democracy and remains loyal to the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, hence is always willing and ready to defend the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


The statement further urged the citizenry to all join hands to strengthen democracy in the country and fish out those he termed agents of doom.
