AGP Executive Report
Last update: 38 minutes agoEbola Surge in Eastern DRC: The WHO says the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak has passed 2,100 confirmed cases (about 828 deaths) and is still outpacing the response, with fighting, insecurity, and community resistance blocking access; it has spread across five provinces and a treatment center in Ituri was attacked. New Drug Trial in Ituri: A post-exposure trial (EBO-PEP) is enrolling people exposed to confirmed cases to test an experimental antiviral, as officials warn many transmissions may be missed. Health System Strain in Displacement Camps: In Bunia’s Kigonze camp, displaced families report near-total water and sanitation gaps, while Ebola deaths are being recorded daily—conditions that make prevention extremely hard. Critical Minerals, Logistics, and Travel Limits: As the US-DRC critical-minerals push continues, Ebola-related travel restrictions and quarantine rules are disrupting meetings and investment plans, even as the Lobito Corridor advances as a strategic export route. DRC Politics Watch: Tshisekedi’s push for constitutional change is drawing resistance at home amid the ongoing eastern crisis.
