Public Health & Transport Risk: DR Congo Ebola cases top 5,200; Africa CDC warns the true burden may be 10,000–15,000 and says surveillance is being reinforced along the Congo River corridor to protect major cities. Aviation Tech: Qatar Airways expands Starlink-equipped Boeing 787-9 connectivity across Africa-linked routes. Road/Logistics Disruption: Nigeria’s Japanese Ambassador’s Karate Tournament in Abuja was postponed after venue and electricity issues left 483 athletes stranded.
