DR CONGO — Ebola outbreak remains severe despite signs of progress Importance: 10/10 — Critical The UN says there are encouraging signs in the fight against the Ebola outbreak, but it is still too early to declare that the epidemic has peaked. More than 7,200 confirmed cases and 3,510 deaths have been recorded across seven provinces. Daily infections have declined from around 120 at the mid-August peak to roughly 80, but North Kivu remains particularly alarming, with 555 new cases reported there in the past 21 days.

DR CONGO — Protests and clashes over proposed constitutional changes Importance: 9/10 — Very High Police used tear gas and warning shots as opposition protests spread across Kinshasa and other cities against proposed constitutional changes.

DJIBOUTI — Yemen conflict drives growing refugee pressure across the Red Sea Importance: 8/10 — High Escalating fighting in Yemen is pushing more civilians toward Djibouti. More than 2,000 Yemenis are already there, while nearly 94,000 people have been displaced inside Yemen. A fuel shortage is temporarily slowing sea crossings, but the International Organization for Migration expects more people to attempt the journey once fuel becomes available. Djibouti's capacity to absorb additional arrivals could come under increasing pressure.

SOUTH AFRICA — Rand weakens as oil-price surge increases inflation pressure Importance: 7/10 — High The South African rand weakened against the U.S. dollar as high global energy prices, a stronger dollar and weaker precious-metals prices increased concerns about inflation and South Africa's import bill.

An experimental blood test has demonstrated the ability to detect pancreatic cancer in early stages with 87% effectiveness, which could facilitate its treatment, although it still requires further large-scale testing and should not replace existing imaging techniques. (translated)

Serbia: do not cross into Kosovo. No troops. No armed proxies. No destabilisation. No military adventure. Any incursion would create a grave regional security crisis and risk confrontation with KFOR.

DODIK ESCALATES AGAIN. 🇧🇦 Speaking in Banja Luka on 14 September, Milorad Dodik declared that “whoever strikes Republika Srpska has struck Serbia” and added that people in Sarajevo “must learn some lessons.” Those are his words. Such rhetoric deserves very close attention. https://t.co/Sx8X1ReUiO #Dodik #RepublikaSrpska #Bosnia #BA #RS

⚠️ WARNING TO SERBIA: DO NOT ATTACK KOSOVO. My message is simple: no military escalation, no armed provocation, no attempt to change borders by force. Kosovo’s people deserve peace and security, and the Western Balkans must not be dragged into another war. Serbia should choose https://t.co/jSa2lGwTSn #Kosovo #Serbia #Peace #RS #XK

Le grand de Gaulle avait voulu la bombe A pour assurer la souveraineté et la dissuasion militaire française. Le minuscule Macron en a fait un gadget de l’OTAN placé le plus près possible de la frontière russe, pour nous emmener en guerre par le jeu des escalades. Ce mec est fou… https://t.co/iet7p4OVPN #France #militaire #OTAN

⚠️ WARNING TO SERBIA DO NOT ATTACK KOSOVO. There must be no military adventure, no armed escalation, no attempt to change borders by force. Kosovo’s peace, security and sovereignty must be respected.

Des chemins de fer sabotés aux Pays-Bas. Des drones russes à Leipzig. Des stockages de munitions qui explosent en Europe. Des tirs russes de leurres près d’un hélicoptère danois. Des drones russes dans l’espace aérien des Baltes, de la Roumanie, de la Pologne. Ne regardons surtout pas l’évidence en face : celle d’une volonté affichée d’escalade de la Russie. La Russie tente de nous intimider, nous vise directement sur notre sol. 450+ opérations hybrides depuis 2022 en Europe, pour la plupart identifiées comme probablement liées à la Russie. Nous sommes nombreux à alerter depuis plus de quatre ans. Et ça va s’intensifier sans le moindre doute. Inconscient est celui qui préfère rester borgne, alors que l’heure est à l’action et à la détermination. Irresponsable est celui qui refuse de s’adapter et de se protéger. Plus que jamais : protégeons les civils ukrainiens et notre espace aérien avec #SkyShield. La Russie ne comprend que la force, et notre manque de courage, parfois même couardise ne fait que l’inciter à se radicaliser. L’addition sera bien plus chère que celle d’une aide ‘soutenue’ à l’Ukraine, croyez-moi. Oui, certains de ces incidents ne seront peut-être pas en lien avec la Russie, et il y a eu quelques déclarations hâtives- mais il faut être complètement inconscient pour se servir d’une erreur de jugement pour balayer d’un revers de main des cas manifestes et documentés d’opérations russes sur notre sol. Personne ne pourra dire qu’il « ne savait pas ». #Russie #Sécurité #Ukraine
