Ebola: Ramaphosa urges solidarity with Congo in visit to Kinshasa

An Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has resulted in over 400 deaths and continues to spread, with new cases reported in cities like Kisangani. The outbreak, centered in Ituri province, has a high fatality rate of around 31%, and the virus has spread to neighboring provinces. The DRC president emphasized that epidemics do not recognize borders, while South African President Cyril Ramaphosa urged against isolating the country and expressed hope for containing the outbreak. Despite challenges, health authorities claim only three provinces are directly affected, though some cases are considered 'imported.' A global trial of potential treatments is underway, but no vaccine or specific treatment currently exists.
