UAE eases Ebola-related visa and entry restrictions on Ugandan nationals

The UAE's National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority, with the health ministry and the ICP, announced the easing of entry and visa restrictions imposed on Ugandans on 6 June over Ebola, citing Uganda's completion of the required monitoring period. Foreign Affairs Minister Adonia Ayebare said on X that UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed informed him of the decision, subject to a UAE delegation assessing preparedness at the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority and other entities. Restrictions remain for the DRC and South Sudan.
