A US travel ban for people coming from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda or South Sudan in response to the Ebola outbreak could make the situation worse, critics have said. He said: “Travel bans don’t stop viruses, they stop solidarity. ” The outbreak had been linked to 139 deaths and about 600 suspected cases in the DRC as of Wednesday, the World Health Organization said, plus two confirmed cases in neighbouring Uganda.
The Uganda Law Society, which condemned the arrivals, said 12 people were on the flight, the first under an agreement Uganda signed with the US in August. The Uganda Law Society said it would be filing legal challenges to the deportations in Ugandan and regional courts. Uganda already hosts nearly 2 million refugees and asylum seekers, most from other east African countries including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan.
