ETHIOPIA NEEDS TO toss out 69 million condoms that were paid for by international donors to fight the spread of AIDS because of their poor quality, local media reported Thursday.
The disease-defeating contraceptives were found to be defective by the Pharmaceuticals Fund and Supply Agency (PFSA), a government body, according to a report on local station Radio Fana.
Agency director Meskele Lera said action was under way to force the condom supplier to, “reimburse the money and cover all costs in the discarding process”.
The $2 million (€1.8m) worth of condoms were reportedly manufactured by an unnamed Indian company and paid for by the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria but failed basic tests.
Around 1.2 million Ethiopians have Aids, according to World Health Organization figures, equivalent to a prevalence rate of 2.4%, with significantly higher concentrations in the capital Addis Ababa.

Did the cop not do the pinky finger in the bag taste test im sure all us cops know what cocaine tastes like
You watch too many movies….
That’s why I like the Irish police.
They adopt a more tolerant and intelligent approach to dealing with ‘suspected’ crimes.
Only last month I got stopped by a patrol a car for a defective brake light.
On searching the car one of the Gardai happened upon a suspicious package of white powder in the glove compartment.
‘What’s that?’ he asked.
‘Bath Salts’ I replied.
Did he shoot me?
No.
He just ate the face off me and let me go.
That definitely happened….
I assume the policeman’s name was Hannibal Lecter.
Well someone took bath salts anyway.
yes, guards tend to search all cars they stop allright……
Did you slip him the tongue or just a line!?!
You’d like he would have made a clean get away
The Soaps are the Opium of the People.
All the women in Ireland are addicted to Soaps.
Coronation Street is particularly toxic.
So long as he didn’t have to bend over for the soap when in prison.
Looks like they got into an imperial lather about the whole thing…
The NYPD need to clean up their act.
