Ebola Response, Kinshasa: The DRC says suspected Ebola cases under investigation have fallen sharply to 116 after testing ruled out many earlier alerts, while confirmed cases are reported above 340 with dozens of deaths and a small number of recoveries. WHO & Community Trust: WHO chief Tedros Ghebreyesus wrapped up a visit meeting President Félix Tshisekedi, warning the outbreak can be stopped only with stronger health-system capacity and community ownership, as aid groups say the real scale may be larger than official figures. Ituri Logistics: Kinshasa has reopened Bunia airport for a gradual, “safe” resumption of flights, with temperature checks and handwashing required. International Help: A Chinese anti-epidemic medical team arrived in Kinshasa for a three-month mission to support case management and epidemic assessment. Cross-Border Pressure: The outbreak is driving regional disruptions, including flight suspensions and tightened travel rules, and even forcing Spain-based organizers to cancel a DR Congo friendly over health concerns. Security Backdrop: In eastern DRC, the ADF remains active despite military efforts, with a recent attack in Beni killing civilians and a soldier. U.S. Visa Policy: Separately, the U.S. plans to cut Africa visa-processing sites from nearly 50 to 20 hubs, including Kinshasa—raising travel burdens for applicants. Governance & Revenue: Kinshasa moves to tighten gambling oversight with a monitoring platform after a major tax gap, as it also revises strategic mineral royalties to boost state take.
