Last update: 11 hours agoEbola Surge in Eastern DRC: Congo’s health authorities report Ebola cases climbing fast, with figures reaching 515 confirmed cases and 91 deaths, and more than 94% concentrated in Ituri—where armed groups and poor access make care and tracking harder.

Militias Complicate Response: Attacks linked to the ADF/Islamic State affiliate have killed civilians near Ebola-affected areas around Beni, disrupting movement and adding pressure to an already strained health system. Humanitarian Faith Diplomacy: Taiwan’s embassy marked the Month of Mary with projects spanning Rome and Congo—digital support for vulnerable girls, equipment for two Congo schools serving 1,200+ students, and a Marian sculpture for PAMI. Culture & Style: Kinshasa tailors are reviving Mobutu-era “abacost” suits, while Pointe-Noire hosted a continent-wide fashion carousel celebrating African textiles from heritage to global value.
