An Ebola ‘Conspiracy’?: Why is Uganda Blacklisted While DR Congo Where It Originated Gets a Pass?
It’s very difficult to get agreement on anything in politically polarised Uganda, but there is a rare growing consensus in the country that a "conspiracy" at play against it regarding the latest Ebola outbreak.
As is often the case, the virus originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where 452 confirmed cases, 1,000 suspected cases, and 82 deaths have been recorded - before spilling over into Uganda.
Uganda has registered 15 cases and just ONE (1) death, a 59-year-old Congolese man who had come into the country from the DRC.
This is where it gets strange. Despite this disparity, western governments have issued over a dozen strict travel advisories specifically targeting Uganda, far eclipsing those levied against the DRC, and even suspension of visas!!!. This has prompted Ugandan politicians and social media users to rail against them and sections of international media like Al Jazeera for "bundling Uganda with Congo" and treating the two as a single entity.
The situation in Kenya might throw some light on the Uganda case. Protests erupted in Nanyuki, in the mountainous central region of the country, over a proposed US Ebola quarantine facility at Laikipia Air Base. This backdrop lends some credence to a disclosure from an authoritative Nairobi-based journalist who said: "We hear the US initially approached Uganda, which possesses the continent’s finest technical expertise on Ebola. Kampala refused, stating, 'We are too busy managing the spillover from Congo'."
If Kampala did indeed rebuff Washington, it is confounding given the Ugandan government’s long history of subservience to US interests. Yet, it might explain why conspiracy theories are thriving. Kampala likely suspects it is being internationally penalised for refusing to fall in line and serve as an Ebola "leper colony".
What is clear is how anomalous it is for a nation with minor spillover cases to be treated as the primary medical pariah.

I have been an active internet user since 2003.
In 2000, I first got an email [email protected]. (I cannot remember the domain name, but in those days, there was no Gmail or Yahoo in Kenya.)
I have been an active mobile internet user since 2007 February.
My first internet-enabled phone was the Motorola 7i.
During this era, browsing was almost free of charge.
Therefore, I have the experience to see scammers and liars by just observing their characters online.
By just reading what you have written, I will deduce your intention and disarm you right away.
There are thousands of criminals online preying on your ignorance, especially on the pretext of Crypto and FOREX.
You have all read how a young man in Kenya was brutally murdered alongside three men for allegedly scamming someone of USD 10,000 on the pretext of Crypto windfalls.
I want to reiterate to you that there is no shortcut to wealth creation. You must work hard and sweat.
Ignore platitudes like "work smart", etc. You must work hard. You must toil and soil your fingers.
Even Elon Musk told his employees to go to work in the office or get fired.
The people who show you opulence and poshness on social media are mostly con men and criminals. - and this includes politicians.
80% of politicians running for elective seats are deplorable criminals, conmen, sluts, prostitutes, hooligans, racketeers, hoodlums, jailbreaks, scofflaws, felons and thieves.
They are running for elective seats to launder the money they have scammed from people or stolen from public coffers. - and then use their political powers to hide from the judicial system while continuing to steal.
When you see people posting posh houses, expensive clothes, and exquisite vehicles while showing you how they are living a lavish lifestyle, followed by a Bible quote or quotes by famous people, just know they are simply showing you a red herring to distract you from seeing their criminal intent.
Those are criminals.
You cannot be a millionaire overnight.
You cannot bet or gamble your way into wealth.
As a man, the system is rigged against you, therefore, you have no choice but to work as hard as you can to get out of poverty.
If you refuse to listen, you will be hunted by the people you have scammed or the security system, and you will be brutally murdered.
Most of these men are simps who are scamming people to please random women.
Live honestly and genuinely.
Be content with the small you have.
Don't be in a rush, be patient.

I am sorry, but as an American this makes no sense to me.
I know Kenya has a great health infrastructure and can do this - the question is WHY did they agree to this.
Would be interested to know what kind of pressure or concessions the US government made to convince the Kenyan government
When a country spends huge funds for providing better infrastructure, rather than launching wars.
