Via Radio Moto Butembo-Beni: Ebola response in Butembo: A positive view of civil society in relation to the efforts of the response teams. The Google translation:
Civil society coordination in North Kivu praises the efforts of the response teams engaged in eradicating Ebola, EDGARD KATEMBO MATESO, second vice president, said in an interview with the RMBB this Sunday, February 10, 2019.
"For the moment, we have a positive view of the evolution of response activities because currently there are many cured people who are discharged from CTE, there are also several cases that come out negative. It is especially the people who go to the CTE as soon as possible, who are going back," said Edgard MATESO while regretting the sadness that unfortunately those who go there very late leave their lives.
However, EDGAR MATESO recognizes that resistance is blocking the complete eradication of the Ebola virus disease.
"Young people, particularly in Bulengera commune, who are attacking the response teams are not helping us, because of them, the local community already has a very bad reputation. And if they continue with this attitude, we risk once again being deprived of elections. And yet, if they let the response teams work in peace, it becomes a routine, and even people will forget that there is this disease here, and we will have the sympathy of the international and national community. But when they continue to offer great resistance, they give the chance to those who have deprived us of the elections to refine new strategies or so to find a new excuse to continue to move away from political life."
