Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

Health authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have resumed efforts to fight a major Ebola outbreak in eastern Beni region after a brief suspension following clashes.

"Despite deadly attacks .. Ebola response activities are continuing," the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Sunday. 

[...] "Since their arrival in the region, the response teams have faced threats, physical assaults, repeated destruction of their equipment and kidnapping," Oly Ilunga.

On Saturday, a ceremony was held for the peacekeepers who were killed in the previous night's attack.
 
  Fifteen other peacekeepers were killed in an ADF assault on a MONUSCO base in Beni in December 2017.

    the "unwelcomed" southerly caravan that just happened to up-and-go massively will be screened at the border
    and "humanitarly" allowed to seek "a better life" once vetted to be able to increase the GDP by the missing 5%
    so that debt obligations minus GDP equals zero ... until gambled away by people who don't care about twitter
    but have the direct phone number?
