CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Feb. 18 -- International health officials warned on Friday that 61 miners in eastern Congo have died and hundreds have become ill from what appears to be the largest outbreak in several decades of a highly virulent, airborne version of plague.

Health officials said thousands more workers have fled the open-pit diamond mine that is the epicenter of the outbreak, possibly spreading the disease deep into a rural province with few health facilities.

Camus all over again! :(

That Congo dictator is a dick. The Congo river has got more electrical horsepower than all of Quebec's rivers combined, and he could have made his country rich by allowing it's construction. It did not happened because he is a dick. Congo is the second largest french country in the world with 50 millions people. :(

So I would not bet on Congo for cooperation. My father worked in those countries, shit happens. :(
