Conakry - The only possible place to
encounter Ebola in Conakry is the main
treatment unit, yet elsewhere in Guinea the
virus is thriving in a febrile atmosphere of
deep mistrust and swirling conspiracy
theory.
The impoverished west African nation and
its neighbours Sierra Leone and Liberia have
registered more than 11 000 deaths since
the epidemic flared up in December 2013.
It is in Guinea, the original epicentre but
least-affected country, where the reaction to
the fight against Ebola has been the most
suspicious, however, manifesting itself in
sporadic bloodshed.
Eight members of an outreach team in the
southeastern town of Womey were killed by
protesters who denied the existence of Ebola
and denounced a "white conspiracy" in
September last year.
Violence erupted last week in the country's
western provinces, where there are around
20 confirmed cases, with attacks targeting
public institutions, ambulances and even
health workers.
