DRC politician killed after Ebola awareness radio appearance in Butembo

Marie-Celestin Karondwa, acting president of the UDPS federal executive committee in Butembo, was beaten to death on Sunday after promoting Ebola prevention measures on a radio show. The attack highlights community resistance to health interventions in a new Ebola hotspot, complicating outbreak response. The motive is unconfirmed but likely linked to misinformation or hostility toward health messaging.
