"34 die in villages attacked by rebels
BANGUI — A local official said that Muslim rebels in Central African Republic have killed at least 34 people during the last week in a series of attacks on remote villages. Bienvenu Sarapata, the mayor of the Mbres commune north of the capital, Bangui, said the attacks were committed by former members of the Seleka alliance, which ruled the country for 10 months (AP)."

What is a bummer is France is deep into the bush there:
"Suicide attack kills UN peacekeeper
BAMAKO — The UN peacekeeping mission in Mali said one of its patrols was attacked, killing a peacekeeper and wounding five others. The statement released Saturday by the UN mission said the suicide attack took place in Ber in the region of Timbuktu. It marked the third time in a week that UN peacekeepers have been targeted in northern Mali (AP)."
And they lost track of them, too:
"Mistake may hinder Europe’s GPS effort
PARIS — European space officials are investigating whether the inaccurate deployment of two satellites will complicate their efforts to develop a new Galileo satellite navigation system that would rival America’s GPS network. The European Space Agency and launch company Arianespace said the satellites ended up in off-target orbits after being launched Friday from Kourou, French Guiana, aboard a Soyuz rocket (AP)."
And just across the channel:
"35 people found in ship container
LONDON — Thirty-five people were found in a shipping container being unloaded at a dock east of London on Saturday, including a man who was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The survivors, including some children, were taken to hospitals where they were mainly being treated for hypothermia and dehydration (New York Times)."
That means Italy must also be infected, and looks like a different $train has been found in Greece.
Whatever happened with that German woman anyway?
NEXT DAY UPDATE:
"2 Ebola deaths confirmed in Congo" | Associated Press August 25, 2014
KINSHASA, Congo — Two Ebola-related deaths have been confirmed in Congo, the country’s health minister said Sunday, though local officials believe the cases are unrelated to the outbreak in West Africa that has killed more than 1,400 people.
Eight samples were taken from Djera, in the Boende region of Congo’s northwest Equateur province, and two of them came back positive, Felix Kabange Numbi said on state television Sunday.
Congolese officials believe Ebola has killed 13 people in the region, including five health workers, Kabange said. He said 11 people were sick and in isolation, and that 80 contacts were being traced.
This is the seventh outbreak of Ebola in Congo. The disease was first discovered there in 1976.
Also Sunday, officials in Sierra Leone said the first British citizen confirmed to be infected with the deadly Ebola disease is being evacuated on a jet sent by the Royal Air Force.
They are bringing to you just as it was brought here!
The World Health Organization is also considering medical evacuation for a Senegalese health worker who has become infected in Sierra Leone, the UN health agency said. Neither patient was identified by name.
The British patient was working at an Ebola treatment center in eastern Sierra Leone, said Sidie Yayah Tunis, director of communications for the Sierra Leone health ministry.

It scares me when I am out ahead of the propaganda and confirmed as correct.
