Last update: 9 hours agoEbola Alarm: WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says he’s “deeply concerned” about the “scale and speed” of eastern DR Congo’s rare Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak, after Congo reported at least 134 suspected deaths and 500+ suspected cases, with cases emerging in urban areas and among healthcare workers; the virus has no approved medicines or vaccines, and officials say “patient zero” hasn’t been found. Response Rush: Congo is preparing more treatment centers and WHO is sending experts as authorities investigate whether deaths are truly linked to Ebola, after the outbreak spread undetected for weeks when teams tested for the wrong strain. Maritime Security: Nigeria’s NIMASA says it’s strengthening inter-agency cooperation to keep territorial waters secure, citing zero piracy incidents for four years. Trade Push: Nigeria also renewed its push to expand deep-sea ports and position itself as a West and Central Africa logistics hub, amid warnings of regional port shortages.
