Ebola Misinformation Fuels Violence in DR Congo

Misinformation surrounding the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is fueling violence against health workers and disrupting efforts to contain the disease, according to humanitarian organizations and medical officials. One of the latest incidents occurred in Bunia, where Red Cross volunteer Daniel Uyirwoth Welo and three colleagues were attacked while transporting the body of an Ebola victim for a safe burial. Welo said they were assaulted by a crowd armed with tools, including spades and machetes, after false rumours spread that the coffin was empty and that Ebola was not real. The attack reflects growing resistance to public health measures during the outbreak, which has infected more than 1,750 people and claimed around 600 lives since mid-May, according to official figures. Aid agencies say misinformation has led some communities to reject medical advice, interfere with burials and […]

DR Congo fan returns to World Cup after Ebola quarantine

DR Congo’s well-known supporter Michel Kuka Mboladinga returned to the 2026 FIFA World Cup after completing an Ebola-related quarantine. Mboladinga, widely recognised for his unique tribute to former Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba, missed DR Congo’s opening match because he was placed under a 21-day quarantine after Ebola cases were reported in his home country. After completing the isolation period, he joined the Congolese delegation and attended the team’s Group K match against Colombia in Guadalajara. His return brought extra attention and emotion to DR Congo’s World Cup campaign. Fans at the stadium and viewers online welcomed his presence, which has become one of the tournament’s most memorable fan stories. However, DR Congo did not get the result they wanted, as Colombia defeated them 1-0. Even with the loss, Mboladinga’s return added a strong human and cultural moment to the tournament, […]

Kenya Halts US-Funded Ebola Facility Project

Kenya's Health Minister Aden Duale has ordered an immediate halt to the construction of a US-backed Ebola quarantine facility in Nanyuki, following legal pressure over the government's failure to comply with a court ruling. The decision came a day after the High Court found the minister in contempt for allowing work on the project to continue despite an earlier judicial order suspending construction. Appearing before the court on Tuesday, Duale issued an apology and confirmed that all activities at the site had been stopped. The planned 50-bed isolation center, located within a military installation in Nanyuki, is intended to accommodate US citizens suspected of being exposed to Ebola during the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Last month, the High Court ordered a temporary suspension of the project pending the hearing of a petition filed by the Katiba […]

Ebola cases rise above 1,000 in Congo

Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo have now passed 1,000, according to health updates from regional health authorities. The outbreak is being caused by the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola and is affecting parts of the country’s north-eastern region. Health officials say the situation remains serious, with more cases and deaths still being reported as surveillance and testing continue. The World Health Organization has already described the outbreak as a public health emergency that requires strong international coordination. Response teams are working to isolate confirmed cases, trace contacts, and support treatment efforts in affected areas. Officials have warned that the virus may spread further if the response is delayed or if communities do not seek care early. Health workers are also urging people to avoid contact with the sick, follow hygiene measures, and report symptoms quickly.
