The African Union boss Moussa Faki Mahamat says the world owes Africa responsibility to lift travel restrictions imposed on the continent over the new Covid-19 variant.
At a conference between the African Union and the UN on Wednesday, Mr Faki said there was no “common sense” or scientific reasoning behind the travel bans, especially since it has been learnt it existed in many places long before South African scientists isolated it.
