Conakry: Two men were killed
and their bodies burned by an
angry mob in Guinea
convinced that the victims
infected a local with Ebola, in
the latest violence spurred by
the deadly disease, police
said Wednesday.
Residents of the western
village of Dar-es-Salaam
attacked a group of three
police officers and their driver
who stopped there Saturday
while on their way to a
funeral.
During their visit, one in the
group gave a sedative to a
local healer who was
suffering from an
undescribed illness. After the
healer died his wife called for
help from locals, who
responded violently, Guinea
police Commissioner
Boubacar Kasse told AFP.
The villagers grabbed
machetes and clubs and beat
the victims to death before
setting their bodies and
vehicle on fire, Kasse said.
He added that at least one
local shouted: "You came
from Conakry (Guinea`s
capital) to spread Ebola to
our village."
The other police officers
survived the attack and were
recovering in hospital.
Violent reactions to Ebola are
frequent in Guinea, especially
in the south, where tensions
are high between local groups
and the central government.
The most violent incident
came in September 2014 in
the southwestern village of
Womey when eight members
of an Ebola prevention
campaign were killed by
locals. During the violence
residents screamed the
disease was a "white
conspiracy."

Not sure if the victims were guilty as "charged", but I a bit happy that the "white conspiracy" angle to these emerging deseases is starting to draw the interest of many hitherto unconcerned Africans.

Africans: Kill first, do not ask questions. Rinse and repeat.
