Uganda Adds Cases: Uganda confirmed two new Ebola infections, bringing its total to seven, including health workers in Kampala. Congo Tightens the Mineral Crackdown: Amid the health emergency, Congo suspended mining in parts of South Kivu’s Mwenga and Shabunda to target illicit trade networks tied to insecurity. Travel and Movement Disrupted: Bunia passenger flights were suspended, and regional alerts widened—while Kinshasa largely carries on, underscoring how uneven the outbreak’s pressure is across the country.
