8 Ebola Awareness Workers Killed By Villagers In Guinea By Angry Villagers by pijango(m): 2:33pm On Sep 19, 2014
At least 8 Ebola awareness workers including 3 journalists & 5 health workers were killed by angry villagers on Tuesday Sept. 16th in Wome village, same village where the Ebola virus broke out early this year.

The workers were killed while out creating awareness and distributing flyers about Ebola. According to reports, the villagers, who believe the Ebola outbreak is a fabricated story, began throwing rocks at the delegation who arrived to do disinfection work and educate people about how to prevent Ebola.

According to a journalist who escaped and later spoke to a radio station in Guinea, she said residents who have always rebuffed government's effort in containing the spread of the virus, gathered around them, first started by insulting them then the physical assault started. Overall, 8 people were killed.

Damantang Albert Camara, a government official who spoke on the incident said the bodies of the workers were dumped in the septic tank of a primary school in the village. Their bodies were found yesterday September 18th.

"On Thursday, the eight bodies were found in the septic tank of the primary school in the village. Three of them had their throats slit. They had been killed in cold blood by the villagers" he said

even though i don't support murder,but i think the villages are only echoing what other villagers have said,the ebola virus was brought into Africa by people claiming to be medical personnel who want to assist them,it quickly reminds me of the late Gaddafi when he had to arrest same kind of medical practitioners for injecting his citizens with HIV virus.the villagers know the truth,we all know the western media never tell us the truth and what emzo did in kano with our nigerian kids.
I think African leaders need to rise up and stop this wicked selfish people,from using Africa as there experiment ground.they should begin by investigating all drug manufacturing companies operating in Africa
