Malaria program in Burkina Faso forced to halt after disinformation campaign

September 09, 2025

A malaria research program has been halted by the government of Burkina Faso after a campaign by anti-Western activists. The mosquito control program, Target Malaria, receives millions from the foundation of tech billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates.

Read the full news story here, on the De Volkskrant website; alternatively, you could read Hidde Boersma's story on Target Malaria linked here -- I shot the photos for this Volkskrant story, which was published in 2019.
