AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoEbola Crisis Deepens in Congo: Congo’s latest Ebola outbreak has killed 600 people and reached 1,759 confirmed cases, with new suspected infections reported in Tshopo province (including Kisangani), an area previously unaffected. Health authorities say one suspected case links back to Ituri’s Nia-Nia zone, while another has no clear connection to known outbreaks, as WHO warns the outbreak is the fastest-growing on the continent. Health Workers Strike Over Pay: In parallel, some Ebola response health workers in Ituri have reportedly gone on strike, citing unpaid benefits since the outbreak was declared—raising pressure on already strained treatment capacity. Security & Policing Reform Talk (Nigeria): Separate from Congo, Nigeria’s police chief Tunji Disu says “state police” plans aim to bring security closer to citizens through community policing and better local intelligence, but implementation will require consultations and capacity building. UN Voting Rights Hit: Vanuatu’s UN General Assembly voting rights were suspended over unpaid dues, alongside other countries including the Republic of Congo.
