Africa CDC Warns Congo Ebola Outbreak Could Be Worst in History Family members and a group of midwives cry upon the arrival at the cemetery of the casketJospin Mwisha / AFP via Getty Images John Hayward17 Jun 2026124 5:28 Jean Kaseya, director of the Africa Centers for Disease Control (Africa CDC) warned on Tuesday that the current outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) could become the worst ever recorded since so many of the people who came into contact with Ebola victims have yet to be traced and tested.
“If we don’t stop the outbreak very soon it will be worse than what we had in West Africa and eastern DRC,” said Kaseya. The West Africa outbreak in 2014 killed over 11,000 people, while the 2018 outbreak in the Congo claimed almost 2,300 victims.
According to the latest update from the DRC health ministry, the current outbreak of the Ebola Bundibugyo strain includes 782 cases and 181 fatalities, which would not seem to be in a league with the horrifying death tolls from 2014 or 2018. However, one of the biggest problems with the current outbreak is that cases have been very difficult to diagnose and track due to political instability in the outbreak region and an often-uncooperative population.
Health officials fear the true number of cases and deaths could be much higher than the figures confirmed so far and, while the outbreak was officially declared one month ago, it began weeks or months before that.

I bet that whole continent is almost depopulated now. A shame.
So, Ebola is the governor that retards or stops migration to Europe
I just hope the Ebola doesn’t spread to Mumbai
Mecca. Send it to Mecca.
Translation: Only foreign aid can stop it. Give us money! It’s bad!
Africa CDC, WHO, every other country in the world, is doing what about it?
How much have they spent?
still waiting . . .
That’s what I thought.
Mot our Continent.
Not our problem.
Restrict entry into US from infected countries.
Maybe they could tighten their Belt & Road for a few Yuan.
Mecca is in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is one of the good guys, our ally
With the World Cup ongoing in the US, I worry that some opportunistic terrorist will try to bring someone infected into the US.
No no …. Trump took all their money, now they are helpless to stop it….
Send Ebola to Mecca during the Hadj. It’ll spread to every Muslim hellhole in the world.
You can’t grasp the fact that many Muslims are American allies and in fact friends.
Your post is seriously misguided and likely based on ignorance of the world.
It’s all DOGE’s fault for turning off the USAID spigot.
Bongo bongo
Ebola in the Conga
CIA is on the way
To bring that shit to the USA
With Saudi friends like this, who needs them!
Remember SA financed the 9/11 terrorists. They’re not our friends.
When fear of Hantavirus doesn’t sell, they switch to Ebola.
