Breaking news: Ten Ebola patients have escaped a hospital facility

A medical facility in Liberia precisely Monrovia was attacked by an angry mob on Saturday evening.

According to a reporter telling BBC, 17 had escaped while 10 others were taken away by their families. Rebecca Wesseh an eye witnessed of the attack, told AFP news agency: "They broke down the door and looted the place. The patients have all gone."

After this attack and the resulted incidence, the local community has reportedly expressed their anger over the Ebola isolation centre which had been setup in their neighbourhood.

My question is? why are these infected persons not treated in adequate hospitals facilities with proper security surveilliance. I believe the WHO is desperatly in need of knowing how to combat this more or less invincible specie of a virus..! so why aren't they moving to these red areas to stop further spread. And what is UN doing? don't these patients need a camp to refuge themselves while recieving the proper care and treatements? 

Till date, more than 400 people are known to have died from the virus in Liberia, out of a total of 1,145 deaths recorded by the World Health Organization.

Afrique Media continues with its war to maintain a pan-Africanist television

OMG were is that democracy the westerners keep promoting??!!, and where is the freedom of press? what is going on here; this recent development of Afrique Media is chocking me to dead . I am soo tire of this whole ambiguous-democratic system.

In recent days, the independent television channel Afrique Media is leading a true battle to keep its broadcasts in the face of the attempted closure of the satellite space announced by its provider, Canal+Africa. The closure of the broadcast has caused endless protests, including that of the African Press Association, which accuses the French multinational of wanting to destroy the independent voice of Afrique Media. The network will continue to broadcast through other satellite signals.

The Afrique Media channel has created an important niche for itself among the audience due to its daring programming and its clearly pan-Africanist discourse. In its usual contents are debates on the current affairs of the continent, very critical of the colonial policy in general, but especially with the French colonial policy.
