Tanzania's Prime Minister has dispelled rumors about President John Magufuli's health after days of wide speculation that he was ill with Covid-19.
Kassim Majaliwa said he was surprised people were questioning the President's whereabouts, adding that the leader was "fine and continuing with his daily activities," as he spoke during a Friday prayer session at a mosque in the country's Njombe region, according to state broadcaster Tanzania Broadcasting Corporation. President Magufuli, who makes weekly public appearances at Sunday church services, hasn't been seen since February 27, fueling speculation that he is ill and was being treated abroad.
Before the stealth bombers streaked through the Middle Eastern night, or the missiles rained down on suspected terrorists in Africa, or commandos snatched a South American president from his bedroom, or the icy slopes of Greenland braced for the threat of invasion, there was an idea at the White House.

More than two weeks after the stunning US raid on Caracas that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro, the political confrontation over the future of Venezuela is rapidly coalescing around two leaders, both women, who represent different visions for their country: the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, who stands for continuity, and opposition leader María Corina Machado, who seeks the restoration of democracy.
