Roger Kamba, Minister of Public Health for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), complained on Friday that travel restrictions against his country due to the Ebola outbreak are “discriminatory” and cannot be justified by science or medicine.
United States imposed travel restrictions in May, announcing that travelers from the DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan would not be allowed into the United States if they lack U.S. passports.
American passport holders, green card holders, and service members inbound from the Ebola outbreak region were required to “undergo enhanced public health screening” and were required to enter the U.S. at one of four airports equipped to conduct those tests, including Washington-Dulles, Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta, George Bush Intercontinental in Houston, and JFK International in New York.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the travel ban would remain in place at least 30 days, and could be extended if necessary.
Several other countries, including Canada and the Bahamas, have banned or restricted travel from the outbreak region. Some nations, like Thailand, will accept travelers from the DRC and neighboring countries, but require extensive quarantine periods for them.
Kamba expressed indignation at the travel bans, interpreting them as a sign of insulting mistrust in the DRC’s ability to contain the outbreak. Appearing at a press briefing with Kamba, DRC communications minister Patrick Muyaya said his government is negotiating with the United States to demonstrate the “evolution” of the DRC’s admittedly inadequate initial response, seeking to get the travel ban lifted early.
The DRC’s entreaties enjoy support from the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), which is generally opposed to travel bans.
W.H.O. regional director Mohamed Janabi told a press briefing on Thursday that flight restrictions and border closures, like the one Uganda imposed against the DRC early in the outbreak, were counterproductive

We are not being strict enough! Keep them the heck out! Screen them in Guantanamo. Not here. If they screen positive for ebola.....all scummy lawyers will crawl out of the woodwork to defend their right to be treated here.
Poor DOD thinks xiden is still (p) resident 😂
Descriminatory???
Kidding..tight?
Fix your sh— hole country and the rest of the world will play nice with you!
I wake up on D-Day, and begin my secular reading as I always do, checking FR headlines. The first thing I see is this, and my first thought is, who's Dr Congo? I know Dr Biden and I know Dr Fauci, but...
Unless y'all tell me otherwise, I'm going to see Pressure tonight, the first time I have been in a movie theater in two years.
And it just started pouring outside, in honor of Dr Congo. The rain in Denton is louder than in Trenton. Off to harnessing the frontal lobe...

Disease does not discriminate between members of different countries.

That’s the kind of government thinking that’s infecting Americas big blue cities. Legislation by dumbbells.
There is no inherent ‘right’ for anyone to enter the United States or any other country for that matter if you are not a citizen of that nation. Just because you ‘want’ to come to the US for any reason doesn’t mean that the US is obligated to allow entry. The same goes for entry into any other nation. Get your own house in order before trying to make an outbreak in your nation a global problem.
We’ve heard this before when covid broke out. Racist to restrict Chinese travel.
Yes, of course it's discriminatory. "Discrimination" is a praiseworthy aspect of human intelligence.
Discriminate between poison and healthy food. Discriminate safe conduct from danger. Etc.
More proof positive of the negative effects of Western hegemony and racist policies.
A return to tribal law and traditional medicine is the answer.
Boo-hoo. Keep your disease to yourself.
He’s just pissed because he or his tribe might not be able to go to any FIFA games.
“”””Roger Kamba, Minister of Public Health for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), complained on Friday that travel restrictions against his country due to the Ebola outbreak are “discriminatory”””””
And who was the US Government funded NGO that helped Roger Kamba write his message??????????????????
“”a sign of insulting mistrust in the DRC’s ability to contain the outbreak.””
Have they contained it so far or not? “Insulting mistrust” is funny...
