"Unprecedented Commitment: African Health Ministers Launch Mass Campaign to End Malaria Deaths"

Health Ministers from African countries with the highest burden of malaria have committed to accelerating action to end deaths from the disease by pledging to provide stronger leadership, increased domestic funding, and enhanced malaria control efforts. The African region accounts for 95% of malaria deaths globally, with progress against malaria stalling since 2017 due to various factors. The ministers signed a declaration at a conference in Yaoundé, Cameroon, expressing their unwavering commitment to reducing malaria mortality and establishing a roadmap for increased political commitment and societal engagement in malaria control. WHO and the RBM Partnership to End Malaria have launched the "High burden to high impact" approach to accelerate progress in countries hardest hit by malaria.

The G20 summit in New Delhi concluded with a consensus declaration that avoided directly criticizing Russia for the war in Ukraine but highlighted the human suffering caused by the conflict. Both Russia and the US praised the declaration, with White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan stating that it stood up for the principle that states cannot use force to seek territorial acquisition. Germany and Britain also praised the resolution, while Ukraine expressed disappointment. The summit admitted the African Union as a permanent member of the G20. US President Joe Biden left for Vietnam, missing the last session of the summit, and there were no talks reported between Biden and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov or Chinese Premier Li Qiang.

G20 Summit: Navigating Ukraine Crisis without Blaming Russia

The Group of 20 (G20) released a declaration at their summit in New Delhi, India, which did not explicitly condemn Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, in contrast to their statement last year. The G20 acknowledged the negative impacts of the war in Ukraine but did not include any strong language towards Russia. The declaration emphasized that the G20's purpose is for economic discussions rather than security issues, stating that the forum is not the platform to resolve geopolitical matters. The summit, which did not include the leaders of China and Russia, will focus on topics such as food security, digital public infrastructure, and fossil fuel alternatives.

The declaration also publicly records support for the creation of the Ukraine-NATO Council, with Canada expressing readiness to continue work to seize and confiscate Russian assets and support international efforts to hold Russia accountable for the crime of aggression.

"Russia's Opposition Bloodied, Press Freedom Attacked, and Mixed Signals on Ukraine War Support"

Leading members of the Russian opposition have issued a declaration calling for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, the restoration of internationally recognized borders, and the prosecution of war criminals. The declaration also calls for the release of political prisoners and prisoners of war, the return of abducted Ukrainian children, and expresses solidarity with anti-Putin and anti-war Russians. While the declaration has been praised by some, tensions between the Russian opposition and Ukrainian patriots remain, and the opposition itself is plagued by internecine squabbling. However, the declaration may prove to be an essential first step towards a united and effective opposition.
