AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoEbola Emergency Escalates: WHO has declared the DRC–Uganda Ebola outbreak a “public health emergency of international concern” as deaths in eastern Ituri climbed to 87 and suspected cases surged past 300, with Africa CDC warning the Bundibugyo strain has no strain-specific vaccine and a high risk of regional spread due to insecurity and cross-border movement. South Sudan Readiness: South Sudan urged vigilance after the WHO alert, while Africa CDC said it is supporting preparedness because Ituri is geographically close. Regional Health Pressure: Uganda confirmed an imported case in Kampala, and WHO advised against border closures, pushing instead for isolation, monitoring, and cross-border screening. Politics at Home: VP Dr. James Wani Igga used SPLA Day to call for dialogue and stability, linking peace to economic recovery. Land & Infrastructure: NLC issued a notice for compulsory land acquisition in Kenya’s Meru for the Nithi River bridge realignment—another reminder of how major projects can quickly reshape livelihoods.
