However Eto’o and Drogba harshly reacted to the suggestions of both French professors that Africa is not a play ground and accused the doctors the doctors of treating people like guinea pigs.
Afriupdate reports that Drogba expressed this on his official Twitter handle, he wrote;
“It is inconceivable that we continue to accept this. I strongly denounce these serious, racist and contemptuous remarks!
‘Help us save lives in Africa and stop the spread of this virus which is destabilising the whole world, instead of considering us as guinea pigs. It is absurd!
‘African leaders have a responsibility to protect people from these heinous plots.’ said former Chelsea start Didier.
It is totally inconceivable we keep on cautioning this.
Africa isn’t a testing lab.
