AGP Executive Report
Last update: 16 minutes agoEbola Alarm in Congo: The WHO chief says the rare Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC is spreading with worrying “scale and speed,” after authorities reported at least 134 suspected deaths and 500+ suspected cases, with cases emerging in urban areas and healthcare workers among the victims. Travel Curbs Tighten: The U.S. has temporarily banned green-card holders who recently visited DRC, Uganda or South Sudan from entering, and Houston’s Bush Airport will screen eligible travelers from those countries ahead of the World Cup. Border Pressure in the Region: Uganda has confirmed cases linked to travel from Congo, while WHO stresses the global risk is lower than the regional one—yet containment is being slowed by insecurity and population movement. Local Tensions Elsewhere: In Zimbabwe, Shurugwi residents are pushing back against a new tollgate plan on a rehabilitated road, arguing the district is already overburdened with fees.
