Last update: 9 hours agoEbola Emergency Hits DRC–Uganda: The WHO has declared the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in eastern DR Congo and neighbouring Uganda a public health emergency of international concern, not a pandemic emergency—after reports rose to 88 deaths and 336 suspected cases and a laboratory-confirmed case reached Goma, with fears of wider spread. Uganda Response: Uganda has tightened surveillance and is monitoring cross-border movement; health officials say two cases linked to travellers from Congo have been recorded, including a death in Kampala. No Vaccine, High Alarm: WHO says this strain is “extraordinary” because there are no approved Bundibugyo-specific vaccines or treatments, making isolation, early detection, and contact tracing the priority. Regional Football Spotlight: Away from health headlines, the AfCON PAMOJA 2027 qualifiers draw is set for Tuesday in Cairo, with Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda guaranteed hosts spots. Viral Social Moment: A Ugandan woman’s “open to marriage” LinkedIn post after failed job hunts has gone viral, sparking debate about unemployment pressures.
