Le pr\u00e9sident nig\u00e9rian Muhammadu Buhari a re\u00e7u samedi plusieurs sachets de la tisane \u00e0 base d\u2019artemisia que les autorit\u00e9s malgaches vantent comme un rem\u00e8de contre le nouveau coronavirus.<\/p>\n
C\u2019est le pr\u00e9sident de Guin\u00e9e-Bissau, Umaro Sissoco Embalo, en visite \u00e0 Abuja, qui a remis \u00e0 son homologue nig\u00e9rian la potion.<\/p>\n
Le pr\u00e9sident nig\u00e9rian assur\u00e9 que le breuvage serait test\u00e9 par des scientifiques. \u201cNous avons des institutions et des proc\u00e9dures. Une telle potion doit leur \u00eatre envoy\u00e9e. Je n\u2019en permettrai pas l\u2019utilisation sans autorisation de nos institutions\u201d, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 M. Buhari.<\/p>\n
Le Nigeria recensait officiellement samedi plus de 5.400 cas d\u2019infection au coronavirus, dont 171 d\u00e9c\u00e8s, mais le pays le plus peupl\u00e9 d\u2019Afrique, effectue un nombre insignifiant de tests par rapport \u00e0 ses quelque 200 millions d\u2019habitants.<\/p>\n
La forte augmentation du nombre de d\u00e9c\u00e8s pour la plupart inexpliqu\u00e9s dans le nord du pays, fait craindre une forte propagation du coronavirus.<\/p>\n
Madagascar a fourni \u00e0 sa population et \u00e0 plusieurs pays africains un breuvage \u00e0 base d\u2019artemisia, une plante \u00e0 l\u2019effet th\u00e9rapeutique reconnu contre le paludisme, en affirmant qu\u2019il pr\u00e9venait et soignait le Covid-19.<\/p>\n
Les \u00e9ventuels bienfaits de cette tisane, baptis\u00e9e Covid Organics, n\u2019ont toutefois \u00e9t\u00e9 valid\u00e9s par aucune \u00e9tude scientifique.<\/p>\n
L\u2019Organisation mondiale de la Sant\u00e9 (OMS<\/span>) a mis en garde les dirigeants africains contre la tentation de promouvoir et d\u2019utiliser la potion malgache sans tests scientifiques pr\u00e9alables.<\/p>\n Le pr\u00e9sident malgache Andry Rajoelina a balay\u00e9 lundi les critiques sur l\u2019efficacit\u00e9 et les dangers de ce breuvage, en d\u00e9non\u00e7ant une attitude condescendante envers la m\u00e9decine africaine.<\/p>\n AFP<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le pr\u00e9sident nig\u00e9rian Muhammadu Buhari a re\u00e7u samedi plusieurs sachets de la tisane \u00e0 base d\u2019artemisia que les autorit\u00e9s malgaches vantent comme un rem\u00e8de contre le nouveau coronavirus.
