The real dangers of Ebola

A 43-year-old woman arrived at an interview for a job with the World Health Organization to raise community awareness about Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It was late 2018. The outbreak there was the largest since the 2014 Ebola crisis in West Africa. 

She said the interviewer told her she could only get the job in exchange for sex. When she refused, she said, the man raped her. 

That's just one of the stories in a newly released report on what's being called a sex-for-jobs scandal as hundreds of aid workers rushed into remote villages in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

    Any dumd-ass rushing into those hellholes to virtue-signal gets exactly what they deserve.

      Worked with a guy who had a brother who was a missionary there. Strong emphasis on the "had a brother" part.

    Likely the interviewer wasn’t very choosy regarding taste in women. DRC is definitely a shithole.

    You know, if the Taliban were running things there, this would never happen. Twice.

    Oh! It's a "Western" "liberal" "democracy"? Play stupid games, get stupid prizes.

    No good deed goes unpunished. Sounds like a U.N. run program.

    "World Health Organization Says Its Staff Perpetrated 'Harrowing' Sexual Abuse In Congo"

    Of course they did, they would do it here if they could.

    You know, that is the weirdest thing.
    Every time I see the phrase 'raise community awareness', I somehow know all the participants are nincompoops doing nincompoopery.

    Do you suppose I just might have psychic abilities?
