An African American activist with a history of fighting Western imperial interests has urged Kenya and other African countries to reject the United States' America First Global Health Strategy, claiming that the policy would have a devastating impact on the continent's health systems, sovereignty and population.
The African American activist Ayo Kimathi alleges that while the strategy is presented as a framework for strengthening global health cooperation, Kenya, like her African counterparts, should view it as the next phase in the United States’ documented agenda for global depopulation, particularly in the Global South.
Speaking to journalists in Nairobi, Kimathi described the initiative as one of the greatest threats to African survival in the 21st century.
He warned against some of the policies he believes would allegedly classify as a modern-day genocide achieved through using health assistance as its cover. He claims Kenya has been specifically targeted as a country for this agenda.
