Summary
Ebola’s reappearance in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo in May has triggered resident demands for answers as health officials struggle to contain the outbreak.
Jean Kaseya flew to the region after the virus surfaced, confronting communities marked by fear, anger and denial that are complicating the response.
Those public reactions are making containment harder in a part of central Africa where trust, communication and local cooperation are critical to stopping transmission.
The outbreak underscores how social resistance can blunt even rapid health deployments, turning a medical emergency into a broader crisis of confidence.
