U.S. and European powers have rejected armed rebellion led by former Congolese President Joseph Kabila, who has declared a coup in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, per chimpreports.com.

Two DR Congo army generals and over 600 soldiers have defected to Kabila-led rebels, escalating tensions as the country faces a serious internal conflict, KTPress reports.

Meanwhile, the Ebola outbreak continues to worsen with the death toll nearing 5,000 and over 10,000 cases reported, while misinformation is endangering health workers treating the disease, according to AllAfrica.
