Burkina Faso Says No: The Bill Gates Mosquito Controversy

2025-09-01
Burkina Faso’s government has halted the Target Malaria project and ordered the destruction of related mosquito samples after rejecting genetically modified mosquitoes proposed to fight malaria. The move highlights concern about ecological risk, consent, and outside influence in African science. This episode explores the science behind gene-driven mosquitoes, the ethical and historical reasons for resistance, and what the decision means for sovereignty, public health, and future malaria solutions in Africa.   Subscribe to Blu Alchemist Podcast Substack Newsletter: https://siquoyiablue.substack.com/
