Nairobi — Activists are expressing disappointment with President Barack Obama's plans for the Aids treatment programme in Africa, charging that he has fallen short of the achievements of his predecessor, George W. Bush.
"President Obama has all but failed to fulfil his commitments to wage an aggressive battle against global Aids," a coalition of Aids-focused groups declared last week, assigning him a grade of D+ for his performance to date.
Gregg Gonsalves, a leading US anti-Aids campaigner, warned an audience in New York last week, "I am about to say something shocking: I miss George W Bush."
In many respects, Gonsalves continued, Bush was a terrible president, but "he was exceptional in one. The President's Emergency Programme for Aids Relief (Pepfar), despite its flaws, saved millions of lives around the world."
Obama, by contrast, is not providing the resources needed to sustain the rate of growth in the number of HIV-positive Africans who receive ant-viral treatments through Pepfar.
That trend prompted Dr Peter Mugyenyi, director of a Uganda Aids clinic, to express fear that "the carnage of Aids will once again surge and the obvious success we have seen of Pepfar may begin to be reversed."
Since its inception in 2004, Pepfar has provided anti-viral treatments to nearly 2.5 million people with Aids.
The programme targets 15 poor countries, 12 of them in black Africa.
Kenya ranks as the single-biggest beneficiary of this aspect of Pepfar, with close to 300,000 Kenyans receiving anti-viral drugs as of September 30.
Nigeria has the world's second-highest number of Pepfar treatment recipients: 286,000. Some 197,000 Tanzanians are getting anti-viral medications through the programme, as are 175,000 Ugandans.
Travellers
The programme also helps support care for 10 million Africans who have contracted Aids.
Aids activists such as Gonzales acknowledge that Pepfar has been enormously beneficial, and they also salute Obama's decision to end a ban on entry to the United States by HIV-positive travellers.
Due in part to Pepfar, Aids-related death rates in Kenya have dropped by 29 per cent since 2002, while the overall Aids mortality rate for sub-Saharan Africa has fallen 18 per cent since 2004.
A $19 billion US funding commitment for Pepfar over the past five years enabled an average of 500,000 people with Aids to be added to the treatment roster each year.
Under Obama's recently announced five-year Pepfar strategy, the average annual rate of growth would slow to 320,000.
By 2014, according to this new plan, about 4 million people worldwide will be receiving anti-viral drugs through Pepfar.
That's roughly 1 million fewer than would have gained access to the life-extending treatments had the Bush-era growth rate been sustained.
Funding
Leaders of three dozen US medical and public health schools recently urged Obama to accelerate Pepfar and other initiatives until treatment becomes available to everyone who needs it.
The deans and presidents specifically asked Obama to fund global Aids programmes at the level projected in a Bill approved by Congress and signed by Bush.
That legislation calls for the United States to spend $48 billion over the next five years to fight tuberculosis and malaria as well as Aids.
Obama has not yet made a funding commitment for Pepfar in the coming year.
As a candidate for president, he pledged to increase Pepfar spending by $1 billion a year, but in his first budget, Obama called for only $165 million in additional funds.
The treatment trend partly reflects a decision by the Obama administration to devote more funding to diseases other than Aids that kill large numbers of Africans, especially children.
The United States intends to make diarrhoea prevention and treatment more widely available, for example.
Obama's five-year Pepfar strategy meanwhile envisions a transfer of responsibility for the programme to local administrators in the countries where it is operating.
The White House also plans to focus on preventing transmission of the virus to babies born to women who are HIV-positive.

HIV AIDS - INVENTING THE AIDS VIRUS BY DR. PETER DUESBERG
In his book he states that the so-called drug AZT was developed
to kill T-Cells. T-Cells are what our bones need to make marrow.
Virologist Dr. Peter Duesberg emerged as one of the scientific
communitys brightest talents when he discovered the viral gene
that can cause cancer. This program examines his research and
his controversial stance on AIDS that nearly destroyed his career
Don't buy the hype..there is no AIDS!!!

Jesus Christ said Except those days (of tribulation) be
shortened , no flesh should be save . There are sinister forces at
work, especially in Black Africa, trying to destroy us by HOOK or
CROOK.
BY HOOK - Dr. Boyd E. Graves discovered the existence of a U.S.
government- manufactured killing virus designed to kill Black
People. It is called AIDS.
1. This manufactured AIDS has a cure that the persons who developed it hold the patent on.
2. Just Search using Dr. Boyd E Graves as a search word.
BY CROOK Dr. Peter Duesberg discovered that another form of
AIDS was actually old diseases like pneumonia ( and other
common diseases) which was renamed AIDS.
1. This so-called form of AIDS actually doesnt exist.
2. But since the persons falsely-diagnosed to have this imaginary form of AIDS are treated with drugs like AZT , they tend to die from. The treatment.
3. AZT was developed in 1958. It was developed to kill T-cells ; our source of life (the marrow in our bones ).
4. Also Search using Dr.Peter Duesberg , author of Inventing The Aids Virus
SO BEWARE OF THE AIDS GAME WITH YOUR LIFE AT STAKE.

What can you do to help us ?
Start with contacting Pan-Afrikanist organizations like BLACK
STAR MEDIA (Modelled after Marcus Garveys Vision For Afrika) : They are at
[ www.libradio.net ]. The CEO of BLACK STAR MEDIA is Keidi-Obi
Awadu. He has been on the frontline fighting for our freedom for
over 30 years.
It's Not A Question Of Other Learned Societies.
It's The INFERIORITY COMPLEX WE HAVE TO SHED
St. Paul In A Letter To The Christians In Rome Said :
" For I say, through the grace given to me, to every man that is
among you, NOT TO THINK OF HIMSELF MORE HIGHLY Than
He Ought To Think; but to think soberly, according AS GOD HAS
D EALT TO EVERY MAN THE MEASURE OF FAITH .
We All Should Think Highly Of Ourselves, Keeping In Our Mind
That God Gave Us Dominion Over The Earth
, NOT EACH OTHER. !!!!!!!!
So let's please help us to return to our Mama Afrika as Israel
under Moses escaped their exile !!!!!!!
