A new Ebola outbreak was reported in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, specifically in the mining town of Butembo. The hosts suggest that Ebola scares are often used as a pretext to send troops into resource-rich areas controlled by warlords. They note that the country has experienced 11 outbreaks since the virus was discovered in 1976.

Violence has erupted at Ebola treatment centers in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with facilities in Katwa and Butembo being set on fire. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) suspended operations after armed groups attacked the centers. Reports suggest local mistrust of foreign medical workers is high, though some suspect the unrest is linked to control over cobalt mining regions.

The Independent National Election Commission in the Democratic Republic of Congo postponed presidential elections in Beni, Butembo, and Yumbi until March, citing the Ebola virus and regional violence. Protesters took to the streets in response, claiming the delay disenfranchises opposition strongholds. Outgoing President Joseph Kabila ordered the European Union ambassador to leave the country following the extension of sanctions against ruling party officials.
