The World Health Organization has officially declared the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo a public health emergency of international concern. This high-level alert follows the confirmation of a case in Goma, a major transit hub and city of two million people. The declaration is intended to increase international coordination and financial support to contain the virus. Health officials emphasized that while the situation is a global emergency, no countries should close their borders or place restrictions on travel or trade at this time.
- The WHO designated the Ebola crisis in the DR Congo as a global health emergency following a meeting of experts.
- The decision was influenced by the recent spread of the virus to Goma, a city with an international airport located near the border with Rwanda.
- The international emergency status is designed to attract more global funding and resources to the affected regions.
- Officials noted that the risk of spread remains very high at the national and regional levels, but low outside of the immediate region.
- The WHO advised against trade or travel restrictions, stating that such measures could hinder the response and damage the local economy.

Screw politics, let's get this under control.
Another reason not to have open borders or support mass migration. Open borders = open season on your national security
