Via Radio Okapi: In Kisangani, Martin Fayulu sensitized the population against Ebola. Fayulu was very much the preferred presidential candidate in North Kivu and Ituri, but Kinshasa cancelled the election in those provinces because of the outbreak. Tshopo is a province just west of North Kivu and Ituri. The Google translation:
Martin Fayulu, candidate in second place in the last presidential election in the DRC, calls the people of the province of Tshopo to respect the principles to prevent the spread of the Ebola virus disease. He made the call Monday, May 13, at a popular meeting at the esplanade of the post office, a few hours after arriving in Kisangani, from Kinshasa.
"Wash your hands with soap (...) If one of your brothers or sisters has a fever in the family, go see the doctor directly for care," said Martin Fayulu.
And if the doctor decides to quarantine a sick family member, "you have to accept. This, to allow the doctor to make an appropriate follow-up during his treatment," continued the Congolese political leader.
Martin Fayulu held the meeting with Adolphe Muzito and Eve Bazaiba, members of the Lamuka coalition.
