…. militias in DRC. "At least seven UN peacekeepers and 12 Congolese soldiers have been killed in clashes with militias in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The fighting took place near Beni, in the east, and close to the centre of the country's worst Ebola outbreak. The peacekeepers were supporting an offensive by local forces against an Islamist group, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), officials said. A UN spokesman said the secretary general, António Guterres, "calls on all armed groups to stop their destabilising activities, which continue to add to the suffering of the population and complicate the response to the ongoing Ebola outbreak"…."

Ten million people live in the northwest province, and one million of those are in displaced persons' camps, with, I presume, rudimentary sanitation. The ebola deaths are ramping up. Utter misery, no end in sight, fighting over next to nothing, and it doesn't even make the headlines. |

The UN Spokesman said blah blah blah. Like that is going to make a difference. |

If we're lucky, ebola will wipe the terrs out. From what I've read, they're really not into innoculation shots, so perhaps one scourge will eliminate another. |
