AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoEbola Surge in Eastern DRC: Congo reports 4,381 confirmed cases and 2,011 deaths as the Bundibugyo outbreak keeps accelerating, with WHO warning it’s “outpacing our response” and that contact tracing is falling short in hotspots. WHO Vaccine Pivot: For the first time since May, WHO no longer rules out using Ervebo (licensed for a different Ebola strain) in a trial, after expert advisers recommended it for possible cross-protection. Outbreak Started Earlier Than Declared: WHO says sequencing suggests transmission may have begun in February, with early cases misread as malaria or typhoid—so responders have been “chasing the virus.” Kinshasa Risk Check: A quarantined river boat near Kinshasa tested negative for Ebola among passengers, easing fears of spread to the capital. DRC Uranium in Cobalt Exports: Kinshasa says it will investigate claims that uranium contaminated cobalt shipments bound for China, while carefully avoiding naming China in its response. Clean Power Push: ANSER and a US-Congolese consortium sign an MoU targeting up to 2 GW of clean-energy infrastructure to expand electricity access and support mining.
