The Kill Malaria Mosquitoes Now campaign

Africa Fighting Malaria has started the global campaign Kill Malarial Mosquitoes NOW!

The campaign declares that:

Developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America face a terrible health and human rights crisis: 500 million of their people get malaria every year, and over 1 million die.

A principal reason is that far too many "health" organizations refuse to fund or even permit the use of pesticides, especially DDT.

and thus demands the inclusion of DDT and other insecticides, along with Artemisia-based combination therapies (ACT) in malaria control programs.

Lene Johansen and Waldemar Ingdahl from Eudoxa are among the ones that have signed the declaration.

You can do so too on their website.
