AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoEbola Response: New Bundibugyo Ebola cases in Kenya and Nigeria have prompted African health experts to call for coordinated action, as the outbreak in the DRC has killed more than 4,600 people. A vaccine trial is underway in Ituri, but misinformation and distrust continue to hamper response efforts. Political Tensions: Kinshasa’s ban on 13 political parties, including former president Joseph Kabila’s PPRD, has intensified debate over political freedoms. Kabila has also taken the lead of a new politico-military movement, the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation, which says it may use force against President Félix Tshisekedi’s government; Belgium condemned the move. Aid Accountability: Africa CDC says the government has been informed about only $220 million of $962 million donated for the Ebola response, and is demanding that aid groups account for the rest. UN officials say reporting is underway.
