[The Conversation Africa] Uganda's environmental impact assessment system is meant to protect the environment from harmful development projects. For nearly 30 years, the law has required developers applying for approval to consider alternatives to their proposed projects, such as different sites, designs, technologies or even whether the project should go ahead at all. This is intended to make sure that the least environmentally damaging option is chosen. Biodiversity and environmental impact assessment researcher Mulumba M. Agaba
La recuperación de ocho pacientes del virus en República Democrática del Congo y en Uganda es, según Tedros, “la prueba viviente de que puede detenerse”
The World Health Organization said on Wednesday that the world is "catching up" with the Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo, where there have been 344 confirmed cases of the disease and 60 confirmed deaths, although challenges remain. "The outbreak had a big head start, and we're still behind, but under the leadership of the government of DRC, we're catching up," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a press briefing. The outbreak, linked to the Bundibugyo strain of the virus, has spread to neighbouring Uganda where 15 cases have been confirmed, including one death, the agency said.

The World Health Organization said Wednesday that the fight against Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo is "catching up" with the spread of the virus. But health officials warn the crisis is far from over with more than 340 cases already confirmed and the outbreak crossing into neighboring Uganda. Chris Ocamringa reports from DRC's capital Kinshasa.
The Ebola outbreak raging in central Africa had a “big head-start”, the World Health Organisation (WHO) chief acknowledged Wednesday, but insisted efforts to rein in the deadly virus were making progress. The outbreak, which was declared on May 15 in the northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), has so far been confirmed to have infected 359 people, including 61 who have died. But the actual numbers could be far higher, with the virus believed to have been spreading under the radar for some time before it was detected. “The outbreak had a big head-start and we’re still behind,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters at the UN health agency’s headquarters in Geneva, but insisted that “we’re catching up”. Tedros, who had just returned from a trip to DRC, where he travelled to the outbreak’s epicentre in Ituri province, said he had been “very encouraged by the level of commitment I saw everywhere I went”. But challenges remain, he said, warning that “the virus is ahead of us… we need to move faster”. It has been clear from the start that the difficulties would be daunting, with the outbreak concentrated in Ituri, where decades of armed conflicts have forced millions of people from their homes and into crowded camps. Ebola patient visited UAE The region’s insecurity, limited testing capacity, lagging contact tracing and mistrust among some of the population are among the challenges facing the response, Tedros said. On top of that, no vaccine or approved treatment exists for Bundibugyo, the rare strain of Ebola behind the current outbreak. Ebola, which is passed on through close contact and bodily fluids, has killed more than 15,000 people in Africa over the past 50 years. The current outbreak — the 17th to hit the DRC — has to date seen 344 confirmed Ebola cases across three of the country’s provinces, including 60 deaths, said the WHO. The UN health agency also tallied 116 suspected cases of the disease. Fifteen cases, including one death, have also been reported in neighbouring Uganda, including a Congolese resident who had arrived there after first travelling to the United Arab Emirates, Tedros said. “WHO is working with public health authorities in Uganda and the UAE to gather additional information, assess the risk of exposure during travel, and to facilitate contact tracing,” he said. Speed up contact tracing The agency has said the risk from the outbreak is “very high” at the national level, “high” at the regional level, and “low” at the global level. Tedros stressed on Wednesday that while the WHO recommends exit screening at airports, ports and border crossings in affected countries to prevent the spread of the virus, broader limits were unhelpful. “Blanket travel restrictions imposed by some countries are disrupting supply chains and hindering the response,” he warned. “We ask countries that have imposed blanket travel restrictions to lift them.” Reining in the outbreak would instead centre on significantly bolstering and speeding up the response on the ground, including by decentralising laboratory testing in Ebola hotspots, Tedros said. At present, only around 45 per cent of known contacts of Ebola cases have been followed up, the WHO chief said. “To get ahead of the outbreak, we need to get that number up to above 90pc.” Abdi Rahman Mahamud, the WHO’s emergency alert and response director, told reporters that so far, more than 1,400 tests had been conducted. But decentralisation across five priority locations – Mongbwalu, Beni, Aru, Nyakunde and Tchomia – should soon make it possible “to do 1,000 tests a day”.

The executive director of the Travel Industry Council Fanny Yeung said on Wednesday she believes the planned launch of a direct flight linking Hong Kong and Kazakhstan would further boost the city's tourism industry. Her remarks came as Cathay Pacific announced it would start operating the route to Kazakhstan's biggest city, Almaty, in the first quarter of next year, significantly cutting the travel time between the two places. Speaking at a press conference on the upcoming International Travel Expo (ITE), Yeung said the council is pleased to learn about the flight arrangements to tap into the Central Asian market as the region is relatively unexplored. "We found that the tourism resources [there] are very, very interesting and the scenery is beautiful as well, so definitely it will attract Hong Kong people," she said, adding that the council had led a delegation to the region in 2024. "Prior to Covid, we [actually] had direct flights to Kazakhstan, but since Covid [they] stopped and didn't reopen again. I am quite positive that it will help us to explore this new destination for Hong Kong residents once the direct flight is available," she told reporters. Regarding the the SAR's tourism outlook, Yeung said she is confident that Hong Kong could welcome about 53 million visitors this year, despite risks arising from the Iran war that has reduced demand from long-haul markets. "We have less tourists from the long-haul markets, but on the other hand, Hong Kong is also very attractive to mainlanders," she said. Asia's annual flagship travel fair ITE is set to return to Hong Kong from June 11 to 14 at the Convention and Exhibition Centre. The event is expected to attract over 500 exhibitors from 66 countries and regions, including newcomers Uganda, Mongolia, and Peru. Edited by Aaron Tam

Soldaten staan op een brug die de grens vormt tussen Uganda en de Democratische Republiek Congo. Ze hebben geweren en een fles met desinfectiemiddel bij zich. Hun opdracht: de nieuwe vijand zoveel mogelijk buiten de deur houden. Uganda sloot de grens met Congo de afgelopen week, omdat de ebolabesmettingen in het oosten van dat land alleen maar oplopen. De wereldgezondheidsorganisatie WHO telt op dit moment 321 besmette personen, onder wie 48 overledenen. In Uganda zijn dat volgens een eigen telling op dit moment veel minder: negen zieken en een dode. Dat willen ze hier zo houden. Alleen essentieel verkeer Bij de kleine grenspost bij het dorp Busunga in het westen van Uganda is een touw over de brug gespannen met rode plastic lintjes eraan. Ze wapperen in de wind. "We maken ons zorgen," zegt grenssoldaat Adeiero Docas op de brug. "We horen wat er in Congo gebeurt en het virus is nu ook hier. We moeten ons zo goed mogelijk beschermen." Ze mag nu alleen nog essentieel verkeer doorlaten. Dat bestaat uit af en toe een vrachtwagen met eten of hulpverleners die van de ene naar de andere kant reizen. Update uit Congo Vandaag komt de Congolees Adalbert Katembo, die in Congo voor het ministerie van Gezondheidszorg werkt, een update geven aan Ugandese gezondheidswerkers die ook bij de grenspost staan. "De situatie is slecht aan onze kant", zegt Katembo. Hij leest de lijst voor met besmettingen. Nieuwe gevallen, maar 80 kilometer verderop. "Daarbovenop zijn er gewapende groepen actief in onze regio. Dat zorgt ervoor dat mensen die besmet zijn zich verplaatsen. Daardoor wordt het met de dag erger. Wij zijn bang voor deze ziekte. Het ebolavirus heeft geen genezend medicijn. Daarom maakt het ons angstig." Grensverkeer Onder de Ugandese grensbrug stroomt de grensrivier. Kinderen springen in het koude water, vrouwen wassen hun kleding aan de oever. Aan de ene kant van de rivier Congolezen en aan de andere kant Ugandezen. Hier zijn geen hekken die de landen van elkaar scheiden. De grensdorpen zijn nauw met elkaar verbonden. Congolezen komen vaak naar de winkels in Uganda, omdat daar meer te koop is dan in eigen land. Kinderen uit Uganda gaan soms in Congo naar school, omdat hun ouders willen dat ze Frans leren. Andersom gebeurt ook: Congolezen die Engels willen spreken. En mensen aan beide zijden zijn familie van elkaar. De WHO is tegen het sluiten van de grenzen. Ze is bang dat daardoor juist meer mensen oversteken zonder gescreend te worden. Ook de Congolese gezondheidsmedewerker op de grensbrug maakt zich zorgen over het sluiten van de grens. "De bevolking zit in een moeilijke situatie. We krijgen eten uit Uganda. Er komt nu niet genoeg binnen." Mede daarom zullen mensen blijven oversteken. En dat kan. Want de grens echt afsluiten is onmogelijk. Op plekken waar de grensrivier ondiep is, staan soldaten om te voorkomen dat mensen erdoorheen waden. De grens tussen Congo en Uganda is 800 kilometer lang. "Mensen glippen er hoe dan ook tussendoor", erkent een Ugandese migratiemedewerker. Uganda heeft dan ook meer verdedigingslinies om besmettingen te voorkomen. In een dorp iets verderop staat een team van het Rode Kruis met posters waarop de symptomen van ebola staan. "Heb je koorts, moet je braken en voel je je lethargisch? Dat kan betekenen dat je ebola hebt", vertelt een voorlichter aan een groep vrouwen die groenten verkopen. Ze doppen boontjes, luisteren en stellen vragen. De voorlichters van dit team zijn Ugandezen uit de gemeenschap. "We zetten mensen in die men hier vertrouwt", zegt Christine Ondoru van het Rode Kruis. "We zien in Congo dat veel mensen boos zijn op de hulpverleners en de artsen. Ze geloven niet dat ebola bestaat. Hier proberen we er alles aan te doen om de mensen informatie te geven." Het helpt, zegt ze, dat ze de afgelopen jaren al vaker voorlichting hebben gegeven. Eerst over covid, en in 2022 was er in Uganda ook een ebola-uitbraak. "Mensen hebben al basiskennis en het wantrouwen is hier veel minder dan in Congo. Dat helpt." Sterke staat Terwijl ze in Congo zeggen achter de feiten aan te hollen, proberen ze in Uganda nieuwe besmettingen zo veel mogelijk voor te zijn. De Ugandese autoriteiten zijn veel beter georganiseerd. Het is een sterke staat. In Congo is die juist grotendeels afwezig. Ook is de gezondheidszorg veel beter in Uganda. Toch is de strijd tegen de ziekte ook hier niet zonder uitdagingen. De districtscommissaris van deze regio maakt deel uit van het regionale Ebola Task Team. In zijn kantoor zit hij non-stop aan de telefoon. "Scholen vragen ons om tanks om handen te wassen en we willen folders uitdelen met informatie over ebola, maar die hebben we niet," zegt Edward Mungabirwe. "We hebben onvoldoende middelen en te weinig mankracht. Maar we doen wat we kunnen om ebola in te dammen."
