W.H.O. Names Mugabe a ‘Good-Will Ambassador,’ and the World Balks The World Health Organization’s decision to name President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe a “good-will ambassador” has provoked outrage from medical professionals, rights groups, opposition leaders and others, who took to social media to call it an “insult” and “a sick joke.” The 93-year-old African leader, who has long faced United States sanctions over his government’s actions, received the honor in Montevideo, Uruguay, this past week from the W.H.O.’s director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, in relation to fighting noncommunicable diseases in Africa. Dr. Tedros said he was “honored” to be joined by Mr. Mugabe, who could use the role “to influence his peers in his region.” continued.. www.nytimes.com/2017/10/21/world/africa/robert-mugabe-goodwill-ambassador-who.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur
