The European Union’s crisis management commissioner has called for a ceasefire between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, saying the need for peace has become even more urgent with the spread of the Ebola outbreak.
"A ceasefire was already a political necessity. Now t has become a health emergency," Hadja Lahbib, EU commissioner for crisis management, told journalists on a visit Sunday to DRC’s eastern Ituri province, the epicentre of the current Ebola outbreak.
