Rather than punishing poor countries, Ramaphosa charged wealthier countries to assist in finding a solution to the global crisis. When South African scientists identified Omicron, the new version, as President Macky Sall put it, they promptly took on the burden of telling the rest of the world,–that a new variant had emerged. So, what’s the end result? The northern countries implement a prohibition in order to punish African brilliance.

“They basically stated, ‘We won’t let you roam about,’ yet alas and behold, Omicron is all over the place.” According to Ramaphosa, In their vaccine distribution, he accused affluent countries of “offering merely the crumbs to needy nations.”

A group of South African researchers reported at the end of November that they had discovered a novel Covid-19 variation called Omicron. Many countries immediately blocked their borders, putting southern Africa on the international map within hours.
