Ebola

In eastern DRC and Uganda, Ebola Bundibugyo is spreading through places already wounded by war, extraction, displacement and poverty.
The world enjoys the minerals beneath Congolese soil. Our phones glow by the grace of hands and lives we rarely choose to see. And when the state, the army, local bandits and foreign mercenaries leave people exposed, disease finds the cracks.
This outbreak is not just virology. It is infrastructure. It is trust. It is history. It is the price of abandonment.
There is no licensed vaccine or specific treatment for Bundibugyo virus disease. WHO, MSF, IRC, NGOs and local authorities are responding, but the real weight is carried by Congolese and Ugandan health workers, many working with too little protection, too little equipment and too much grief.
And still they show up.
In clinics, in villages, in fear, in exhaustion, they show up.
May the people of DRC, Uganda and surrounding nations find strength, protection and solidarity. May the world do more than panic at airports. May we finally understand that global health begins where human dignity is most neglected.
