Last update: 6 hours ago

Ebola Emergency Escalates: The WHO has declared the DRC Ebola outbreak a global health emergency as suspected cases surge past 600 and deaths reach 139, with reports pointing to a likely early superspreader funeral event near Bunia and fears of spread into Uganda. Power Crisis Deepens: In Freetown, blackouts are worsening as Karpowership output reportedly drops to about 5.6–6MW despite a contract calling for 45MW in the dry season, blamed on an unresolved debt dispute; Bumbuna’s maintenance adds pressure. Tariff Clarity Push: SLEWRC starts a nationwide roadshow to explain updated electricity tariffs under MYTO II, visiting Moyamba, Koribondo, Kono, Makeni and Feredugu. Governance & Accountability: UN backs an ICJ climate ruling via a UNGA vote, while Liberia’s ex-president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf urges African auditors to resist political interference.
