Reaction to Canada/US travel ban: "The current situation involves very limited cases and does not warrant treating an entire nation of close to 50 million people as a risk. Precaution is necessary. Blanket restrictions are not."
5 days ago, I received an email that my Canadian Visa had been suspended because of Ebola (with a promise to re-activate.)
@USEmbassyUganda temporarily paused Visa operations over the same…
@KLM seems to have suspended flights, cancelled visits by tourists… and the list goes on!
We appreciate the need for vigilance in protecting public health and preventing disease spread. However, some of these measures raise concerns about proportionality, especially given that it is over a limited Ebola outbreak
Uganda has one of Africa’s strongest outbreak surveillance and response systems, built through decades of successfully containing Ebola and other public health threats. The current situation involves very limited cases and does not warrant treating an entire nation of close to 50million people as a risk.
Precaution is necessary. Blanket restrictions are not.
Uganda deserves to be judged by the strength of its response, not by its proximity to a neighboring country facing a different situation.

The Trump administration's response to the Ebola outbreak: it announces that it is setting up "Ebola clinics" in DRC and Uganda. The Ugandan government promptly denies it.
Regarding #Uganda, the Ministry of Health has not been engaged on the establishment of the treatment centres referred to here, and we are therefore not aware of where they may have been set up within the country.
We continue to affirm that Uganda has so far registered only two imported Ebola cases: one fatality and one patient currently responding well to treatment under close medical care. There are no local infections and the country remains safe.

“An important pillar of our foreign policy is just missing. Canada talks a big game about being a serious global actor, but there is no plan and no real ambition."
As deaths rise from global aid cuts, campaigners try to reverse Canada's $2.7-billion cut.

Canada drops out of a US-sponsored military exercise in Africa. A byproduct of PM Carney's emphasis on diversifying Canada's foreign links away from the US: the Canadian army's resources are increasingly stretched thin, and Africa falls off the table.

🚨 Nowhere is safe for women and girls in Darfur, Sudan.
Whether near or far from the frontlines, they are being subjected to widespread and systematic sexual violence.

Russia's Africa Corps had promised security to #Mali's junta. Instead, it's left civilians terrorized by brutality, beheadings, rapes, and burned villages. Meanwhile, jihadists advance. Coup regimes are not the answer. And the Sahel is paying the price.
