AU Holds Emergency Meeting On Ebola Outbreak


Following the unabated spread of the Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, in West Africa, latest reports say African Union chiefs are currently holding an emergency meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
It was gathered that the aim of the meeting is to hammer out a continent-wide strategy to deal with the Ebola epidemic, which has killed over 2,000 people in west Africa.

“Fighting Ebola must be done in a manner that doesn’t fuel isolation or lead to the stigmatisation of victims, communities and countries,” AU commission chief Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, speaking at the opening of the meeting.
Dlamini-Zuma told the executive council of the 54-member body, meeting at the bloc’s headquarters in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, of the urgent need to “craft a united, comprehensive and collective African response” to the outbreak.
This AU latest meeting is holding after hopes rose of a potential vaccine to provide temporary shield against Ebola.
Few weeks ago, researchers reported in the journal Nature Medicine that a vaccine tested so far only on monkeys provided “completely short-term and partial long-term protection” from the deadly virus.
