How come we never see photos of all these affected towns in West Africa?

Liberia recently stopped allowing photos of EVD victims, bodies in streets, etc without gov approval. Closed one major newspaper as well to warn the others.
Sierra Leone might not be so tragically photogenic, having a smaller outbreak but the only news site I’ve found is Aroko which seems like a state organ. Left top corner has perpetual “How well do you like your government?” Poll.
