Ebola Hits Liberia's Presidency by tartar9(m): 1:38am On Sep 13, 2014 |
Liberia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is also the seat of the Liberian presidency, has been hit by the deadly Ebola virus. FrontPageAfrica has learned. On Monday, the Administrative Assistant to Foreign Minister Augustine Ngafuan reportedly died from what sources say is a suspected case of the deadly virus. Her husband, a staffer in the office of President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, is currently under quarantine, according to online news portal, FrontPageAfrica. The names of the officials were withheld because the government has not officially notified the public about the cases, so close to the Liberian presidency. Minister Ngafuan’s office is two floors below the floor now being used as the President’s office, the online news portal stated. The wife of the President’s office staffer reportedly died on Monday and may have contracted the virus from a sister, who had previously died. A praying woman who reportedly had sessions and laid hands on the sister of the deceased Administrative Assistant, has also died. Sources within the Executive Mansion informed FrontPageAfrica Wednesday that both the deceased Administrative Assistant in Minister Ngafuan’s office and her husband had been told not to return to the office until after 21 days. “They had not been coming to work for more than 21 days now,” the source, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak on the matter. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia Minister Ngafuan is currently in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia attending an Emergency Meeting of the African Union’s Executive Council on the Ebola Virus Disease Outbreak. Attempts to reach the minister and his press aide have been unsuccessful. The AU members are recommending the urgent lifting of all travel bans imposed on countries affected by the Ebola outbreak in Africa. The Ministry has been the seat of the presidency since 2006 when fire gutted the fourth floor during celebrations marking the 159th Independence Day celebrations in the presence of three West African leaders, who had come to witness the then newly-elected President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf switch on electricity to reach limited parts of the capital city.source: www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2014/09/11/ebola-hits-liberian-presidency-kills-ministers-aide/

I really feel for that country. I think the situation there is no longer a Liberian thing,the whole world needs to rise to this issue and help save that country from an impending extermination. Because if we say we want to leave a mad man to bury his dead mother by himself,friends, he will spoil things. |
