Amid the ongoing Ebola outbreak, doctors in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are treating symptomatic patients and facing shortages of crucial protective and diagnostic equipment. Amy Maxmen, PhD, public health correspondent and editor at KFF Health News, reports on the situation.   MONGBWALU, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO - MAY 24: Community members watch as health workers wearing protective equipment prepare for a safe burial operation in the community of Mongbwalu on May 24, 2026 in Mongbwalu, Ituri Province, Democratic Republic of Congo. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda a "public health emergency of international concern," as the death toll and number of confirmed cases continue to rise. The current epidemic is caused by the Bundibugyo virus, one of several Orthoebolaviruses that can cause Ebola disease, and for which there are no approved vaccines. The highest number of cases have been reported in Congo's eastern Ituri province, bordering Uganda. Global health officials have expressed grave concern over the capacity to contain the outbreak in a region already facing a humanitarian crisis, with highly mobile populations displaced by conflict and economic factors.

As health workers in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) continue to battle an ongoing Ebola outbreak, scientists around the world are racing to develop a vaccine against the strain of the virus that's causing it.Two approved vaccines exist for Ebola, but they target the Zaire strain of the virus, not the Bundibugyo strain causing the 2026 outbreak, which has so far killed 61 people with 359 confirmed cases in the DRC and neighbouring Uganda.In this episode, we speak to two scientists at the Oxford Vaccine Group at the University of Oxford, Teresa Lambe and Rebecca Makinson, who are developing a vaccine candidate for Bundibugyo virus. On June 1, they were among three research groups to receive fast-track funding from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, alongside Moderna and IAVI.This episode was written and produced by Gemma Ware, Katie Flood and Mend Mariwany.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka nchini Jamhuri ya Kidokrasia ya Congo DRC katika mji wa Mavivi jimboni kivu kaskazini Mashariki mwa nchi hiyo kusikia ni kwa jinsi gani walinda amani kutoka Tanzania wanaohudumu chini ya MONUSCO. wanavyochangia katika ulinzi wa amani na msaada wa kibinadamu.Umoja wa Mataifa umezitaka nchi zote duniani kuimarisha mifumo ya tahadhari za mapema baada ya kuthibitisha kuanza kwa hali ya El Niño, ukionya kuwa mabadiliko hayo ya joto la Bahari ya Pasifiki yataleta viwango vya juu vya joto kuliko kawaida karibu kila mahali duniani kati ya mwezi Juni mpaka Agosti na kuchochea matukio mabaya zaidi ya hali ya hewa. Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari jijini Geneva Uswisi Katibu Mkuu wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Hali ya hewa duniani WMO, Celeste Saulo amesema "Taarifa hizi ni muhimu kwa sababu El Niño ni kichocheo kikubwa cha hali ya hewa duniani na mifumo ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi, bahari yenye joto, huongeza joto na unyevu kwenye mfumo wa hali ya hewa ambao unaweza kutumika kuzidisha hali mbaya ya hewa ikiwa ni pamoja na joto kali, na mvua kubwa.”.'Zinakaribia siku 100 sasa tangu kuanza kwa mzozo wa Mashariki ya Kati ambao athari zake zimesambaa duniani kote kwani umevuruga njia za usafirishaji na umeongeza gharama za usafiri na kuchelewesha utoaji wa huduma muhimu. Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa linalohusika na masuala ya watoto UNICEF limeeleza kuwa fedha nyingi sasa zinatumika kwenye usafirishaji badala ya kununua vifaa vya kuokoa maisha ya watoto. Gharama za kusafirisha chanjo kwenda baadhi ya nchi barani Afrika zimeongezeka kwa hadi asilimia 70, huku gharama za kusafirisha chakula tiba, na vifaa vya elimu, nazo zikipanda kwa kiwango kikubwa. Shirika hilo linaonya kuwa hali hiyo inalazimisha kufanya maamuzi magumu kuhusu ni watoto gani wapate msaada kwanza". Mlipuko wa ugonjwa wa Ebola uliogundulika nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia Congo DRC na Uganda mwezi uliopita wa Mei ambapo mpaka sasa watu 49 wamepoteza maisha, 48 nchini DRC na mmoja nchini Uganda. Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la afya ulimwenguni WHO Dkt. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus amezihimiza jumuiya za kimataifa kutoa usaidizi unaohitajika ili kudhibiti mlipuko. Pia amelihimiza nchi kutoweka vikwazo vya usafiri kwa DRC, ili kuhakikisha msaada wa kiafya na kibinadamu unaweza kufikia kiwango kinachohitajika.Na katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili hii leo mtaalam wetu Onni Sigalla, Mhariri mwandamizi wa Baraza la Kiswahili la Taifa nchini Tanzania, BAKITA.

On May 17, 2026, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the ongoing Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak affecting the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda, a Public Health Emergency of international Concern (PHEIC) under the International Health Regulations (2005). The current Ebola outbreak is concentrated in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (Ituri, Nord-Kivu, and Sud-Kivu provinces) and Uganda, particularly in Kampala. There are no cases of the Ebola Virus Disease in the Caribbean region. The current risk of this disease to the Caribbean is assessed by the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) as low. However, given that the introduction of the disease to the Caribbean region can happen through travel associated with importation and the region's high connectivity through international travel, it is important that the national surveillance system is strengthened.

In this video, I give a quick update on the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). But this video also serves as a reminder that there are many other infectious disease outbreaks in the country, year after year, and I'll briefly go over some of them.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a growing Ebola outbreak in Central Africa as an international public health emergency sparking concerns the deadly virus could spread beyond the region, including into the United States. The outbreak has been linked to dozens of suspected deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and neighboring Uganda. Ebola is a zoonotic, viral disease that is rare but life-threatening, starting in species like antelope, fruit bats and nonhuman primates. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Dr. Tyler Evans, an infectious disease physician, CEO of the 'Wellness Equity Alliance', and author of "Pandemics, Poverty, and Politics: Decoding the Social and Political Drivers of Pandemics from Plague to COVID-19", who says the death rate of this strain could become very high, and we always learn a lot from every outbreak.

In this episode, we chat with Paul Barrett, CEO of Rome Resources, a company working on the front lines of tin, copper, and zinc exploration at a time when critical minerals have never been more in focus. We'll unpack what it really takes to operate in the DRC, how Rome has kept momentum through regional uncertainty, and where newly raised capital is being deployed as the company looks toward 2026 and beyond. Paul will also share his views on value creation from potential partnerships or integration with bigger players, to Rome's own path forward, along with insights from his career and the experienced team behind him.  And with global M&A heating up in the mining sector, we'll explore whether consolidation may be part of Rome's future, and how shifting demand for tin and other metals could reshape opportunities ahead. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rome Resources operates in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which presents unique challenges such as regional instability and complex regulatory requirements Rome Resources recently raised £2 million to fund a drilling program targeting deeper, wider intercepts of tin and copper. The company aims to complete this drilling by early 2024, with plans to update resource estimates shortly thereafter. The tin market is expected to remain strong due to its critical role in technology and manufacturing, while copper demand is also projected to grow, particularly in infrastructure projects The company is exploring potential partnerships, particularly with nearby Alphamin, to enhance value creation BEST MOMENTS "The level of scientific rigour put to drilling holes in the ground for mining is much, much less... I'm trying to bring some of that science in, especially some of the stratigraphic work." "We have a dialogue with IRH on that particular project... extracting Kalai and putting it through Alphamin's facility will not require much in the way of modification." "The tin market is a fascinating market... it's quite small... and of course that then means that it's quite volatile in terms of price reaction to supply hiccups." “We're concentrating really on adding that value, taking that a bit deeper and seeing where we get to with this next drilling program."

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a country in central Africa the size of Western Europe and rich in arable land and minerals, including those critical to the military industrial complex, such as cobalt and coltan. Since the CIA-backed assassination of Patrice Lumumba in 1961, the DRC has been ruled by puppets who answer to the United States and its allies. 2025 has been a devastating year for the DRC. Clearing the FOG speaks with Maurice Carney, the executive director of Friends of the Congo, about the occupation by Rwandan forces, mass displacement of millions of people, and the recent 'peace agreements' that rob the DRC of its riches and sovereignty. He discusses this in the context of Kwame Nkrumah's work, "Neo-colonialism: The last stage of imperialism." For more information, visit PopularResistance.org.

On this Out of the Loop, Nathan Paul Southern and Lindsey Kennedy explain the consumer decisions and corporate interests fueling conflict in Rwanda.Welcome to what we're calling our "Out of the Loop" episodes, where we dig a little deeper into fascinating current events that may only register as a blip on the media's news cycle and have conversations with the people who find themselves immersed in them. Investigative journalists Nathan Paul Southern and Lindsey Kennedy are here to help us understand why we're hearing a lot about Rwanda in recent news.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1145On This Episode of Out of the Loop, We Discuss:The M23 militia has recently resurged in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), taking over parts of North Kivu province and effectively controlling access to valuable mineral resources like cobalt, gold, and coltan — minerals critical for modern technology including electric vehicles and AI chips.There appears to be a connection between the UK's Rwanda refugee resettlement program (which sent hundreds of millions of pounds to Rwanda) and the reemergence of the M23, which had previously disappeared when international aid was threatened to be cut off. The timing suggests the UK money may have indirectly funded the militia.Rwanda is allegedly stealing minerals from the DRC, bringing them across the border, and claiming they were mined in Rwanda — creating the appearance of "conflict-free" minerals that major tech companies like Apple and Tesla can claim to use, even though they ultimately come from conflict zones.The conflict has become increasingly complicated with the involvement of private military contractors from various countries, Russian interests, and American billionaires like Elon Musk and Eric Prince potentially making deals to control mineral resources in the region.Understanding these complex global connections can empower us to make more ethical consumer choices. By researching which companies prioritize truly ethical sourcing and supporting organizations that monitor conflict minerals, we can use our purchasing power to encourage corporate responsibility and transparency in global supply chains for technologies we rely on daily.And much more!Connect with Jordan on Twitter, on Instagram, and on YouTube.
