Tsetse fly eradication is achievable

Tsetse flies have without a doubt shaped Africa's landscape. They determine human settlements, delineate grazing fields and arable lands; subsequently spelling doom for human beings in areas where they inhabit, causing sleeping sickness epidemics.

Tsetse flies have attracted a lot of attention albeit sporadic in nature especially when they attack human beings. Ironically, despite these defining incursions, the tsetse problem remained neglected for over a century in the modern world until African heads of states and governments raised the red flag during the 2000 AU Summit in Lome, Togo.
