DR Congo: The country's largest Ebola treatment centre is under construction in Bunia

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, a new Ebola treatment center in Bunia, located in the northeast of the country, is opening this week and will become the largest facility dedicated to combating the disease. Health authorities are working to contain an epidemic described by the World Health Organization as an 'exceptionally rapid intensification.' Meanwhile, in Guinea, access to several social networks has been heavily disrupted, prompting citizens to use private virtual networks (VPNs) to access platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. The Association of Guinean Bloggers criticizes the government for restricting freedom of expression. In Sudan, 45 fighters have defected from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), taking heavy weapons and military vehicles, adding to previous defections in the region.

Why objectivity (75): The article presents the situation in a somewhat neutral tone but uses phrases such as 'fragilisent les paramilitaires' and 'ne sont pas sans risque pour Khartoum', which carry subtle implications about the consequences of these defections. This suggests a slight editorial lean towards highlighting
