News Roundup – 29th March, 2022

Doctors Without Borders, DWB, has ceased operations in the SoUth West region. Announcing the move today, it said it was as a result of continuous false accusation of cooperating with separatists by government. All attempts to have government prove the claims it said, failed.



Many have expressed sadness following Doctors Without Borders’ decision to leave the South West Region. Coming months after government suspended it in the North West Region, they say the move will only leave more vulnerable persons at the mercy of the armed conflict. Many others serving as employees and volunteers too they bemoan, will be left unemployed.
