This is what REAL Africans are saying, not wannabe Internet conspiracy theorist Africans :rudy:

Obama's plan calls for sending 3,000 troops, including engineers and medical personnel; establishing a regional command and control center in Liberia's capital, Monrovia, commanded by Major General Darryl Williams, who arrived there on Tuesday; and forming a staging area in Senegal to help distribute personnel and aid on the ground.

It also calls for building 17 treatment centers with 100 beds each; placing U.S. Public Health Service personnel in new field hospitals in Liberia; training thousands of healthcare workers for six months or longer; and creating an "air bridge" to get health workers and medical supplies into West Africa more quickly.


The U.S. military, with its enormous logistical capability, extensive air operations, and highly skilled medical corps, could address gaps in the response quickly.

The United States has already spent $175 million responding to the outbreak and has dispatched 100 CDC experts, among the largest deployments of agency personnel in its history. The administration has sought an additional $88 million and may ask for more, according to a senior administration official. “I don’t want to close the door to potential additional funding,” the official said. Separately, the Pentagon wants to take up to $500 million from existing funds within the Pentagon’s budget that have not yet been spent and use it for the plan to fight Ebola.

The packages, which include sanitizers, will help curb transmission of the disease among family members and expand access to ambulances and treatment centers so those infected can be isolated. As part of this effort, the U.S. Agency for International Development this week will airlift 50,000 home health-care kits from Denmark to Liberia to be hand-delivered to distant communities by trained youth volunteers.

Horrible stuff

Cuba sends six tons of medical supplies to Gaza
Cuba has sent six tons of drugs and medical supplies to Gaza, devastated by Israel's seven-week US-backed terror campaign that killed more than 2,100 people, official media reported Thursday.

The government-run Cubadebate website said the humanitarian shipment was delivered by officials at Cuba's embassy in Cairo to the Palestinian representative there.

Cubadebate said Palestinian officials expressed their thanks for Havana's "noble gesture" that "will alleviate the difficult situation Gaza is facing," as hospitals continue to treat those injured by the Israeli bombings.

Israel and the Palestinians agreed to a truce on August 26, putting on hold their deadliest confrontation in years, with indirect talks set to resume mid-September.

Che Guevara visiting Gaza on June 18, 1959. He visited several Palestinian refugee camps, where he was welcomed with chants of the Cuban revolution.

Cuba welcomed the founding of the Palestine Liberation Organization, making official contact with it in 1965.
Hasta la Victoria Siempre. :mjcry:

@biscuitsnbangers I'm not gonna rag on you, but you got duped. This is a circle jerk article for folks that enjoy piling onto US foreign policy.

@Poitier already dropped all of the knowledge I was gonna post. But it's unbelievable how many people are getting their conspiracy nut on while my people are really suffering.

Un fukkn believable really….nikkas got no skin in the game, no real worries, but you perpetuate rumors that do nothing but build distrust when communication and teamwork is all we have.

It's going to take a billion dollars to recover from this. The US has pledged 750 million - far more than what anyone else has been willing to risk. Beyond low of low to use this situation as a way to pat yourself on the back. Just help, shut the fukk up and bounce.
