Ebola Crisis in DRC: The Democratic Republic of Congo’s new Ebola outbreak in Ituri has surged to at least 80 deaths, with nearly 250 suspected cases reported as health teams push harder screening and contact tracing. Health Minister Samuel-Roger Kamba says the outbreak involves the Bundibugyo strain, which he warns has no vaccine and no specific treatment and can reach about 50% lethality; officials also point to a nurse as the suspected first case in Bunia. Regional Spillover Alarm: Africa CDC says the risk of spread is high because Ituri borders Uganda and South Sudan, with intense movement tied to mining and weak infrastructure; Uganda has reported one imported Ebola death in Kampala. SPLA Day Politics: In South Sudan, President Salva Kiir marked SPLA Day (May 16) with tributes to liberation figures, while civil society leader Edmund Yakani urged reconciliation and dialogue amid complaints about unpaid salaries and insecurity. Agriculture Support: GIZ distributed climate-resilient seed packs in Yei and Magwi to boost yields ahead of planting.
