  • Angie Gabriel Indeed BBC reported a while ago that the vaccine is over when they treated the last patient or whom they thought is the last. This is an African problem. We shd not always look to the West. Lets face it we r not a priority. We shd try to solve African challenges by ourselves.

  • Patrick Maingi For those who read history should know until Africans demand better they will continue to get raw deals from their leads. Europe had the issue of plague measles small pox many years back. They were determined with whatever they had and in the process great minds discovered the likes of penicillin. So stop this nonsense of dependence and handouts. Invest in education science labs we have all the right apparatus to achieve everything but we have to know the likes of your thinking and greed from majority of our leaders will continue to make Africa pity land. Such a shame we luck strategic leaders with a wide view of all issues.

  • Peter Kamande Annan doesnt have any legitimacy to talk about African problems. He was the head of the UN Security Council when Rwanda went into genocide in 1994 and neglected it as people killed each other.. Reason for negligence being; it was a poor African country!

  • Engesia Sarah So Ebola started in America years ago but they got rid off it. African leaders need to stop depending on the west. They need to use the doctors in the continent in order to come up with some research of ailment affecting Africa. Our people gone to school but not being utilized enough. There's money in the health care sector. Every time there's a crisis, u look upon the west yet our presidents r the most corrupt. When they get sick they also run to the west. Hey b men and women enough to act on u r problems.

  • Gerald Kaihura Annan should stop this nonesense! Soon we'll hear the greatest propagandist African leader Mugabe blame the west for bringing Ebola to Africa. Africans when will we learn to take responsibility for our failures? All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame someone, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him or her, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.
  • Steve Hazard Alonso Neocolonialism,when will it walk out of Africa,can't we do things in our style and forget about the whites!!!!... when will we learn
  • Mandy Robertson True. But the richer world should have come forward much earlier.
  • John Musyoki Tell them
  • Wallie Ogetii Obviously........Mr. Annan, now that it is affecting the entire world, "people" are scrabbling to contain it. Same can be said about Malaria. being a non issue for the western world, malaria research is almost nonexistence even thought it kills > 3 Million children in African. Itt is quite a shame and a disgrace. selfish and almost barbaric. God will Judge us all.

Virgin Australia to finish acquiring Tiger Air

Virgin Australia Holdings Limited (Virgin Australia) today announced a transaction which would see Virgin Australia acquire the remaining 40 per cent of shares in Tiger Australia Airways Pty Ltd (Tigerair Australia) from Tiger Airways Holdings Limited (Tiger Holdings) for a price of A$1.
The transaction, once completed, will see Virgin Australia secure 100 per cent ownership and full control of Tigerair Australia and brings to a conclusion the joint venture between Virgin Australia and Tiger Holdings which commenced on 8 July 2013.
As part of the proposed acquisition, Virgin Australia will secure the brand rights to fly Tigerair Australia to a number of short-haul international destinations, providing new growth opportunities for the business.
Virgin Australia Chief Executive Officer, John Borghetti said: “This proposed transaction marks an important milestone for Tigerair Australia and forms part of the Virgin Australia Group’s Virgin Vision strategy to 2017.
“Given the ongoing subdued consumer demand in the Australian domestic market, the growth of the Tigerair Australia domestic fleet is likely to be reduced. Under this proposed transaction, we will benefit from the economies of scale and achieve profitability ahead of schedule by the end of 2016, by leveraging the resources of the wider Virgin Australia Group.
“Tiger Holdings and Virgin Australia have worked well together over the past 14 months on building a strong operating platform for Tigerair Australia. The joint venture has strengthened systems and processes, increased aircraft utilisation, established a Brisbane base and leveraged synergies across a range of areas.
“We remain committed to maintaining the airline’s low cost business model and the separate Tigerair brand, ensuring that we can continue to deliver the most competitive pricing in Australian budget travel”, Mr Borghetti said.
The partnership between Virgin Australia and Tiger Holdings will continue into the future through brand licencing and certain services which will continue to be provided by Tiger Holdings direct to Tiger Australia.
The transaction is also subject to conditions precedent, including Foreign Investment Review Board approval, Tiger Holdings shareholder approval and entering into long-form licensing agreements, services agreements and other ancillary transaction documents. It is expected that Virgin Australia will consolidate Tigerair Australia’s financial results going forward as result of the transaction.
Virgin Australia anticipates that completion will occur by the end of 2014 and will keep the market updated on the timing of completion of the transaction.

East Africa is answering the call to help Ebola-affected nation

East Africa is answering the call to help Ebola-affected nations. Health ministers from the region have decided to send over 600 health workers to West Africa, including 41 doctors. Kenya is sending 15 doctors, Uganda 14 and five each from Rwanda and Tanzania. Burundi is sending 250 health workers and Kenya 300. That comes as the UN calls on the international community to accelerate and dramatically expand aid to combat the spread of Ebola. The African Union has also been calling for volunteers.
