DRC Christians Face Religious Extremism, Ebola
Source excerpt
In eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where ADF attacks have claimed countless lives and forced many Christians to flee, a new Ebola outbreak has begun. On May 14, authorities confirmed this is the country’s 17th epidemic since 1976. The outbreak was first found in Mongwalo, a town in northeastern Ituri Province. Health officials say three health zones are now affected: Rwampara, Mongwalu, and Bunia. Early reports say about 100 people have died in the community, and many of these deaths are likely linked to the virus.
