Ebola Emergency Escalates: WHO says DR Congo’s Ebola outbreak is moving with “scale and speed,” reporting about 131 deaths and 513 suspected cases in Ituri, while officials warn the response could be lengthy as vaccines and treatments for this strain are still months away. Travel Crackdown: The US has introduced temporary entry restrictions tied to the outbreak, after an American tested positive following exposure in Congo. Regional Health Gains: Kenya received WHO recognition for eliminating sleeping sickness, with zero indigenous cases since 2009. Trade Push: China’s zero-tariff policy for exports from 53 African countries is set to boost Kenya’s competitiveness after an early harvest deal. Sports Spotlight: Ghana were drawn into a tough AFCON 2027 Group C with Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia and Somalia, while Egypt’s El Hadary called it the “group of death.” Media & AI: A MENA community media conference focused on fighting fake news and training broadcasters on AI’s impact on newsrooms.
