This is the first time that Africans, who are the first victims, have fought this scourge, which aftermaths are dramatic. Africa must assume its own fate and be involved in the fight against the smuggling of counterfeit medicines, Togolese President Faure Gnassingbe said on Saturday at the closure of a summit on the issue.
Likewise, the president described the smuggling of counterfeit medicines as a mortal threat for Africans in South Saharan countries, and recommended to create a roadmap to unify repressing measures against traffickers.
