Last update: 12 hours agoEbola Escalation in DRC: The outbreak has now spread to Sud-Ubangi after lab confirmation of Bundibugyo ebolavirus, with officials reporting 6,843 confirmed cases and 3,310 deaths as of Sept. 8. Peak Not Confirmed: A senior health official says cases are trending downward, but it’s “too early” to declare the peak reached—warning against any easing of response efforts. Africa CDC Warning: Africa’s top health body says the epidemic is rapidly spreading beyond its epicenter, with insecurity, displacement, a health workers’ strike, and population movement driving transmission. WHO Alarm on Uneven Spread: WHO reports the outbreak is “increasingly heterogeneous,” as community deaths rise sharply even where treatment-facility deaths decline. Eastern Congo School Fire: In Bukavu, a fire across two schools triggered a stampede, killing at least 26 students (toll expected to rise) in rebel-held areas. Kinshasa Aviation Incident: A rare DC-8 freighter runway excursion at N’Djili left the nose gear collapsed; no fatalities reported and investigators are probing causes. US Visa Policy (Kinshasa angle): The US published the E-2 investor visa treaty list, which includes Congo (Kinshasa), potentially opening new pathways for investors.
