Kanungu authorities close Ishasha-Kyeshero border post with DRC over Ebola outbreak

Kanungu Resident District Commissioner Ambrose Amanyire Mwesigye, who chairs the district Ebola taskforce, said the Ishasha and Kyeshero border posts with the DRC had been closed to reduce the risk of Ebola spreading from eastern DRC. He said security deployment along porous border points had also been increased; in Kisoro, the RDC said the district taskforce would meet before deciding on the Busanza-Kitagoma and Bunagana crossings.
