News outlets started reporting a new outbreak of the Ebola virus in the DRC yesterday.
Most outbreaks in the DRC in the past have been contained and one of the articles below is saying that this outbreak has already been contained. Also previous outbreaks in the DRC haven’t been anywhere near as severe as the outbreak that killed more than 11,000 people and infected over 28,000 people in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia between 2013 and 2016. Just letting people know of the reports so please don’t jump down my throat. All part of the risks of working and investing in these parts of West Africa.Esh
In other news from yesterday, a court in the DRC has suspended proceedings initiated by state owned company Gecamines to dissolve a unit of Glencore until mid next month while it awaits a Supreme Court ruling which is assessing the court’s competency to here the case. Looks like Glencore are fighting back as you would expect.Esh
