Ebola Alarm in Congo: Africa CDC confirmed a fresh Ebola outbreak in Congo’s Ituri province, with 246 suspected cases and 65 deaths so far, concentrated in Mongwalu and Rwampara; lab results found Ebola in 13 of 20 samples, while Uganda also reported one Ebola-related death tied to a case imported from Congo. Cross-Border Pressure: Health officials warn the outbreak near Uganda and South Sudan could spread faster due to mining travel, weak infrastructure, and insecurity. Sports Spotlight: In a major African football moment, Mamelodi Sundowns host the first leg of the CAF Champions League final against AS FAR today, with the return leg in Rabat on May 24. Local Politics Fallout: In Ireland, Fianna Fáil leaders again faced backlash after Bertie Ahern’s recorded immigration remarks referencing Africans and “people from the Congo,” with the Taoiseach saying he can’t physically stop canvassing but the comments don’t reflect party views.
