{#DRC} #Maladie inconnue à #Panzi : la société civile invite la #population au calme

Source: Radio Okapi, https://www.radiookapi.net/2024/12/07/actualite/sante/maladie-inconnue-panzi-la-societe-civile-invite-la-population-au-calme

{Excerpt}

L’ASBL Action Plus, une structure de la société civile locale œuvrant notamment dans le domaine de la santé, a appelé samedi 7 décembre la population au calme et à ne pas paniquer face à la maladie inconnue qui décime la population dans la zone de santé de Panzi située dans le territoire de Kasongo-Lunda (Kwango).

Le Gouvernement est en train de travailler et les experts sont déjà sur terrain pour faire face à cette maladie non encore diagnostiquée, a assuré Jude Tshangata, le coordonnateur de cette ASBL, lors d’un entretien avec radio Okapi.

Il a évoqué notamment le ministre provincial de la santé et sa suite, qui sont « en train de travailler d’arrachepied sur place » pour déterminer la vraie nature de cette maladie.

Jude Tshangata a plutôt invité la population locale au respect strict des règles d’hygiène édictées par les autorités sanitaires, pour limiter la transmission de cette maladie non encore diagnostiquée :

« Ce que nous demandons à la population, c’est d’appliquer les mesures de prévention parce que jusque-là, la maladie n’est pas encore connue. C’est pourquoi, (les habitants) doivent se protéger, se laver les mains régulièrement avec du savon, appliquer les mesures barrière comme cela est exigé par les professionnels de la santé ».

Il s’agit, selon lui, de ne pas toucher n’importe où, ne pas se saluer à la main, et aussi l’hygiène est exigée.

Ok. #Trump won.
Quit bitching
& join the Resistance.
What #Resistance, you ask?
Well, do you think the #Italians & the #French went around asking "what Resistance?" in the 1920's as #fascism was spreading across #Europe??

If you can't find it, it means 1 of 2 things:

1) it's so well hidden, you can't find it.
But it's there. Look harder

2) it doesn't exist. Yet.
So build it. Reach out to other resisters. Meet. Discuss. Plan. Prepare.

I've said enough

105 years ago, in the second half of April 1919, a revolt of French sailors broke out in Sevastopol. According to a number of historians, it played a key role in the fact that France stopped intervention against Soviet Russia and finally left Crimea. How and why did it happen?
...
The main goal of the interventionists, although not proclaimed, was already quite prosaic at this point: colonization of the territories of the former Russian Empire - France's recent Entente ally. Therefore, the French first of all put local resources and transportation networks under their control.
