Ebola Emergency Hits Home: The WHO has declared the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in DR Congo and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, after deaths climbed to around 88 and suspected cases surged past 300, with Uganda confirming at least two cases in Kampala (including one death). Cross-Border Pressure: Health officials are opening new treatment capacity in Congo’s Ituri region while warning the real scale may be larger—and urging countries not to shut borders or choke trade. Regional Business Shock: In Kenya, a nationwide public transport strike erupted over record fuel prices, stranding commuters in a “walking city” and raising fears of wider economic damage. Energy Deal Momentum: In Uganda, President Museveni backed a proposed East African regional oil refinery championed by Aliko Dangote—while insisting Hoima’s refinery will still proceed. Culture & Tourism: Uganda’s Ndiga clan heritage project in Mpigi moves toward a museum and mausoleum to preserve Buganda history and boost tourism.
