Is Ebola spiralling out of control in the DRC?

Doctors are alarmed by the rapid spread of the worst outbreak in the country's history.

Doctors say they're terrified by the spread of the worst-ever Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

More than 1,100 people have died since August.

There are 1,760 reported cases; a fifth of them in the past month alone.

This is the 10th Ebola outbreak in the DRC since the disease was discovered there more than 40 years ago.

Censored, harassed and arrested: DR Congo's politicised media

With funding tied to political interests, journalists in the DRC are restricted in the stories they can and cannot tell.

Congolese journalists covering the anti-government protests that have rocked the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) for the past year and a half are telling vastly different stories, depending on the outlet they work for.

In a media landscape that is heavily politicised, reporters are presenting conflicting narratives, too often based on political interests rather than facts.
