Ebola Alarm in Congo: Africa CDC confirmed a new Ebola outbreak in DR Congo’s Ituri province, with 65 deaths and 246 suspected cases reported so far, mainly in Mongwalu and Rwampara, plus suspected cases in Bunia. Early lab results suggest a non-Zaire strain, with sequencing ongoing—raising fears that existing tools may not fit perfectly. Cross-Border Watch: Africa CDC says it is convening an urgent meeting with DRC, Uganda, South Sudan and partners to boost surveillance and response, as the area sits near both borders and mining-linked movement could spread the virus. Uganda Confirms Imported Case: Uganda reported one Ebola death in Kampala tied to a Congolese man, with contacts quarantined. Sudan Drone Warning: In parallel, UN officials warn that drones are driving civilian deaths in Sudan’s war, with calls to stop drone transfers. South Sudan Politics: President Kiir revoked appointments of 47 SPLM-IO MPs after opposition MPs protested proposed amendments to the 2018 peace deal. Nasir Trial: Suspended petroleum minister Puot Kang denied financing the March 2025 Nasir attack, rejecting prosecution claims as politically motivated.
