Ebola Returns to Africa: Logistical Nightmares and Global Inaction The recent outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo has brought back haunting memories of the 2014 2016 crisis that ravaged West Africa, leaving thousands dead.
This new variant, Bundibugyo, is spreading rapidly across the eastern Ituri province. At least 80 deaths have been reported since April 24, with 65 confirmed cases and 246 suspected.
