AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoEbola Emergency in DRC: UN chief António Guterres warned the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is spreading faster than containment, with cases and deaths still climbing to about 5,713 confirmed infections and 2,744 deaths, and said current funding could run out in weeks; he appealed for $1.1 billion more to fully fund a $2.1 billion response plan. Vaccines and Trials: The DRC is receiving Merck’s Ervebo doses via the global stockpile, while CEPI is backing an Egypt-based Minapharm candidate with up to $16.5 million to move a Bundibugyo vaccine into early human trials in Africa. Regional Contrast: Uganda declared its Ebola outbreak over after 42 days without new cases, but WHO stressed DRC transmission remains active and the region must stay vigilant. Peace Process in Eastern DRC: Qatar welcomed the first field verification mission under the Doha ceasefire framework in Minembwe, as leaders also discussed regional peace efforts. Mining, Power, and Politics: A solar-plus-battery baseload project at Kamoa-Kakula reached commercial operation, while a new U.S.-backed push aims to secure critical-minerals supply routes, keeping Congo central to global competition.
