 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.

 Lagbaja: Army has no desire to truncate Nigeria’s democracy


Taoreed Lagbaja, chief of army staff (COAS), says the Nigerian army has no plans to truncate the country’s democracy.


Lagbaja spoke on Tuesday at a seminar on career planning and management organised by the army headquarters in Abuja.


He said the military is committed to defending Nigeria’s constitution and would not suspend it for any reason.


Lagbaja charged the army personnel to be professional in the discharge of their duties.


“Permit me to seize this opportunity to reiterate that the amed forces of Nigeria, particularly the Nigerian army has come to terms with the country’s choice of democracy as the preferred system of governance,” Lagbaja said.


“We are, therefore, agents of democracy and have no desire to truncate it. The Nigerian army will continue to defend our constitution and not suspend it for whatever reason.


“It is the duty of our elected leaders to lead while the military does its job as enshrined in our constitution. Nigerian army personnel must, therefore, remain professional and be above board as they discharge their constitutional duties.”


Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad, Sudan, Gabon and Niger Republic have all experienced military takeovers in the last three years.


There was also a coup attempt in Guinea Bissau in February 2022 but it was foiled.
