Deadly virus kills 13 in Uganda

The deadly Ebola virus has killed 14 people in western Uganda this month, Ugandan health officials said on Saturday, ending weeks of speculation about the cause of a strange disease that had many people fleeing their homes.

 

The officials and a World Health Organization representative told a news conference in Kampala Saturday that there is "an outbreak of Ebola" in Uganda.

 

"Laboratory investigations done at the Uganda Virus Research Institute...have confirmed that the strange disease reported in Kibaale is indeed Ebola hemorrhagic fever," the Ugandan government and WHO said in joint statement.

 

Kibaale is a district in midwestern Uganda, where people in recent weeks have been troubled by a mysterious illness that seemed to have come from nowhere. Ugandan health officials had been stumped as well, and spent weeks conducting laboratory tests that were at first inconclusive.

 

Imagine if infected ugadanan comes to Somali soil and pass his disease . It would be

disastrous . These people live like animals, I can say something about people in Somalia living in refugee camps

but we been in a war for two decades. This why none Africans degrade Africans . The governments are corrupt

They care less the well being of thier citizens. Management it self doesn't exist in Africa.

 

They claim the disease comes from people who contacted animals such as monkeys who were infected.

It's simple,people in africa live in dirt. No clean water and such
