Is the search for Ebola cure promising ??!!!

Can we start jubilating??!! Despite having no cure for Ebola, BBC report today that a minister confirmed; three doctors in Liberia with Ebola who started taking an experimental drug last Thursday are showing remarkable signs of improvement. Nevertheless, the World Health Organization (WHO) has ruled that untested drugs can be used in light of the scale of outbreak in West Africa.

Breaking news: Missing 17 suspected Ebola patients have been found.

Thanking God as missing suspected Ebola patients were found.

People who were being screened for Ebola when they fled a health center during looting have turned themselves into a hospital, a Liberian official said Today.

As pointed out yesterday, the patients fled when an Ebola holding facility was ransacked in Liberia's capital, Monrovia, on Saturday night, raising fears that the deadly virus might spread into the densely populated slum surrounding it. Information Minister Lewis Brown said today that the last 17 people who were missing have now turned themselves in to a treatment center at a major hospital in the capital.

It was also confirmed that people who fled have not yet been confirmed to have Ebola; and that they were in the holding center because they were at risk of having the disease. Mr Brown said they are now being tested.

"They were traced and finally they turned themselves in at the JFK" hospital, Brown told The Associated Press.

Eventhough this is good news, there is still fear that the desease may have been spread during their escape and also the fact that, residents of the West Point slum stole bloody sheets and mattresses during the looting. It is still not clear where those items are.

This raid has certainly been a huge setback in the struggle to contain the outbreak.

It was while going through arrival formalities, that the officials on duty at the time suspected that he had ingested narcotics drugs and so he was pulled aside.

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.

Please Bomo Haram leave my country alone..we do not want war here. 

According to BBC report today, the Cameroon's deputy prime minister's wife was abducted on Sunday, by suspected militants.

Cameroon is furious and fearful over Boko Haram infiltration

Recently a group of young men dressed in their Sunday best crosses from Nigeria into northern Cameroon, singing wedding songs in the back of a van. The border authorities let them pass, assuming they are attending a family celebration.
