A strong tension is observed this Tuesday, August 13, 2019 in the district Majengo, north of Goma in the commune of Karisimbi. At the base, some angry residents are protesting the arrival of a response team at a clinic where a woman who came from Kiwanja in Rutshuru territory died.
"Young people barricaded the road from the three-lantern entrance to Majengo before reaching Buhene. They attack any Land Cruiser vehicle thinking they have teams on board. They say that Ebola is a business imported from Beni-Butembo to Goma. It is now that I have just seen elements of the force of the order to go towards there, maybe to calm my situation," testifies a resident who is at the place of the demonstration.
"I heard a few shots," the same source added. These protests come as two Ebola cases have been declared cured and have left the Ebola treatment center in Goma.
At his last press conference, before resigning from the health ministry, Dr. Oly Ilunga demanded that tests be done on all the deaths that will be recorded in the city of Goma and about to prevent the spread of the Ebola virus disease. The city of Goma recorded the first case of Ebola on July 14th.
