A strange, new illness festering in the heart of Africa has killed 179 people and counting – and most of the victims are teenagers, authorities said.

The unidentified disease has infected at least 300 people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo since November 10, causing flu-like symptoms including fever, headaches, coughing, breathing difficulties and anemia, that country’s health ministry told the BBC.

Most of the dead have been between 16 and 18, authorities said.

The government has dispatched a medical team to the Kwango Province, where the disease is most common, to investigate the strange outbreak, Reuters reported.

The government has urged citizens to stay calm, but Cephorien Manzanza, a civil society leader, told Reuters the rising number of cases is truly alarming.

I don’t care. I will only start to care if if I see bodies piling up in the streets. I have lost all trust in my government. The administrative state lies and steals and deserves to be crushed.

The African teens probably had their immune systems compromised by the “vaccine” experiment from Bill Gates, unless the Congo is not in Bill’s petri dish.

I’d be curious to know if these adolescents had received any trial medications. Especially long acting contraceptives.

The typically strongest health demo. This “flu-like disease” appears to be targeted

Need to checkout Wuhan and Fauci and Deep State to see what they have been up to lately.
