The COVID-19 pandemic has affected virtually every country across the globe, with a tiny handful<\/a> as the exception. And while everyone is struggling, those in developing countries are in a more desperate position than most. Africa in particular has been receiving COVID relief funds from western nations \u2014 but as with many previous forms of aid, that help comes with a catch.<\/p>\n

Obianuju Ekeocha, a Nigerian biomedical scientist, is the founder of Culture of Life Africa. A new documentary released by the pro-life organization, “Africa\u2019s Pandemic: A Gateway To Neocolonialism,” reveals how global relief funds are being used in yet another attempt to force African countries to liberalize their abortion laws. Featuring a panel of international and African experts, “Africa’s Pandemic” uncovers the ideological agenda of abortion in Africa, and how the abortion industry is exploiting the pandemic for its own financial gain.<\/p>\n

“Why is it that at this time, when countries and communities find themselves in the most vulnerable situation, should the abortion movement be moving to take advantage of these communities?” Ekeocha asked in the documentary. “Why is it that at a time like this, that some western leaders and western donors should be pushing for their own sexual and reproductive health and rights agenda? Why is it that at this time, the United Nations is coming out full force to align so perfectly with pro-abortion ideas and ideologies, and pro-abortion groups? Why exactly is it happening, and why now?”<\/p>\n

“Africa’s Pandemic” aims to answer those questions. Featured in the documentary are Elyssa Koren, Director of United Nations Advocacy for ADF International, Dr. Zacc Kawalala, Chairman of the Ethics, Peace and Justice Commission for the Evangelical Association of Malawi, and Joy B. Mdivo, Executive Director of the East African Centre for Law and Justice.<\/p>\n
