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.

Dogdammit.

There's has really gone out of hand! Very scary to even imagine. I pray they get help very very soon.

And our borders are still porous.

Lord save our land.
