AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Ebola Emergency Escalates: The WHO has declared the Ebola outbreak in eastern DR Congo and Uganda a “public health emergency of international concern” after deaths climbed to 87 and suspected cases reached 336, with a rare Bundibugyo strain driving the risk and no strain-specific vaccine available. Cross-Border Spread Fears: Health officials say a confirmed case has been detected in Goma and that the virus may be reaching major cities, including reports tied to Kampala and Kinshasa, as screening and contact tracing intensify. Regional Response Pressure: Africa CDC warns the outbreak could spread further due to insecurity and high mobility, urging coordinated action across Congo, Uganda, and nearby countries including South Sudan. Energy Talks in the Background: In Uganda, President Museveni backed a proposed Dangote-led East African regional refinery while insisting Hoima’s 60,000 bpd refinery will still go ahead. Politics at Home: SPLM-IO leaders condemned the removal of 47 MPs, calling it a breach of the 2018 peace deal and constitutional process.
