The US State Department announced on June 11 an additional $20-million to support Ebola preparedness efforts in Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and South Sudan, bringing total US direct support to more than $220-million. The funding will support national emergency operations centres, surveillance, testing, border screening, infection prevention and control, and the distribution of critical commodities and patient management.
Burundian refugee returns from Tanzania raise safety concerns ahead of 2027 electionsSince December 2025, tens of thousands of Burundian refugees have returned from Tanzania, mainly from Nduta camp, which closed in April, following a November 2025 tripartite agreement to close Nduta and Nyarugusu camps by mid-2026. Refugees, humanitarian organisations and civil society organisations have documented intimidation by Tanzanian police, while arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearances in Burundi heighten fears for returnees' safety, particularly opposition members and supporters ahead of Burundi's 2027 presidential elections.
Eastern DRC peace efforts critical to regional Ebola containmentThe Bundibugyo strain of Ebola has affected all three eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo provinces, with 1 003 confirmed cases in the DRC and 19 in Uganda by June 22, amid severe conflict that hampers response efforts. Limited regional cooperation, community mistrust and conflict-induced restrictions on medical access complicate containment in a region where cross-border communities link the DRC to Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi through formal and informal crossing points.
