Ebola Outbreak Spreads, Threatens Rwanda, Uganda, and South Sudan

Breitbart: The much-feared spread of Ebola virus from rural regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to larger cities and across the border into neighboring countries may be coming to pass, as the ongoing conflict in the DRC continues to impede the efforts of doctors and aid workers.

    Isn’t multiculturalism great!

  3. From above: “…violent and chaotic insurrection.”

    I suppose this is less desirable than a violent and well ordered insurrection.

    We shouldn’t judge though. An excellent case can be made that all the violence from one end of Africa to the other is ‘cultural’, and I need to respect that.

  4. I thank God every day that Trump WON the election. With an adult in charge at the White House, he will quarantine airtravel from Ebola-ridden Third World Shitholes in Africa.
