## Resource

Only five months after the DRC declared an Ebola outbreak over, the virus has returned, raising urgent questions about Africa's ability to respond amid US aid decline. DW's Adwoa Tenkorama Domena speaks with Dr. Gabriel Gorbee Logan, a central figure in the 2014–2016 West African Ebola response and Dr. Jinal Bhiman, communicable diseases expert in South Africa.
