Malaria Elimination Proof of Concept? Clearing War Debris Can Help Ukraine Move Forward
“This January, Cabo Verde joined the ranks of 43 nations and one territory certified as malaria-free by the World Health Organization (WHO)—a remarkable achievement highlighted by Secretary of State Antony Blinken during his recent trip to the country’s capital of Praia. Cabo Verde’s malaria-free status is especially important in a country where tourism accounts for nearly a quarter of its GDP.” -Read more from Amb. Mark A. Green. “Debris removal work already underway is likely to have significant impacts on both human health and the environment. At individual sites, the lack of access control, worker health and safety, and dust control will create higher morbidity and mortality levels for both workers and neighbors. Children could be injured, and there is an overall potential for increased levels of asbestos exposure.” Learn more from J.A. Atchue III, Karl Dix & Billy Tress in the New Security Beat.

Ambassador Green on Congress and Ukraine (Brian Kilmeade Show) [[link removed](Ret.)]
“We’re living in a time when dictatorship is on the march. Ukraine is a sovereign nation, a member of the UN, a key ally, a democracy, that has been invaded and pummeled by authoritarians. This is a key moment. Deterrence is not something that can be divided. If we’re going to push back on authoritarian advances, this moment is a crucial one.” -Amb. Mark A. Green
