WHO rescinds its appointment of Zimbabwe’s Mugabe as goodwill ambassador

WHO removes Mugabe as goodwill ambassador: World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus rescinded his appointment of 93-year-old Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe as a goodwill ambassador, Reuters reports. The decision came after many donors and rights groups expressed outrage over the appointment of Mugabe, who has widely been condemned for human rights abuses and his responsibility for the collapse of his country’s economy.
