“According to witnesses at the scene, these militiamen wanted all the expatriates to go home because according to them, Ebola does not exist in Butembo,”

Dozens of rebel groups are active in eastern Congo. There also has been some community resistance to Ebola containment efforts in a traumatized, wary region that had never faced an outbreak of the virus before

This month could see the highest rate of Ebola transmission yet, Kitchen said, adding “the trajectory of this outbreak is alarming.”

Let's do a photo safari to Africa!

Or maybe the Magnificent Mile in Chicago, much less travel time.

“Ebola does not exist in Butembo” Whistling past the cemetery.

Who else thinks foreign aid actually HARMS Africa..?

These kooks might actually be onto something.

They’re wrong, but...somehow right.

We certainly do not want another Ebola episode in this country, so certainly strict travel measures from certain countries is an important consideration. Also we need to give some thought to our citizens flying overseas from some areas without proof of measles inoculation.

During a former ghastly Ebola outbreak, the natives were killing doctors because clearly, doctors cause ebola. When doctors came around, people died.

They’ll find out soon enough.

Problem is, it’ll probably hit everyone BUT them.

‘”White folks was in caves while we was building empires... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.” — Rev. Al Sharpton’

Sounds like Africans have terribly regressed since the white came out of the caves.

We can fix this by importing all those people here!

A few months on our magic American soil and surely they’d be proper 1st world citizens, right?

And to help them along they need a nice place to live, food, schools, a car, a big screen tv...

and don’t forget to bring the extended family, friends, and neighbors too.

Darkest Africa deserves the same treatment the moozie part of the world does. Both are lost causes and a scourge on the rest of the world.

Isolate both, chunk in a bunch of weapons and ammo, let them war it out and exterminate one another to their hearts content. Check back in a few years. If there are any left resupply them with guns and ammo.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

I hate to break it to kinder and gentler souls but there are some places in the world that are real sh!t holes and that is all they will ever be. The are sunk in tribalism, ignorance and mindless traditions. You can’t help them.

Heck.

We should just move them by entire villages all at once and settle them all together in close neighborhoods. Change all the road signs to their native language and hire police officers from among them, as well as teachers so they can keep their language and customs.

You know, to help them integrate.
