8 Ebola awareness workers killed by villagers in Guinea

8 Ebola awareness workers including 3 journalists & 5 health workers were killed by angry villagers on Tuesday Sept. 16th in Wome village, same village where the Ebola virus broke out early this year.

The workers were killed while out creating awareness and distributing flyers about Ebola. According to reports, the villagers, who believe the Ebola outbreak is a fabricated story, began throwing rocks at the delegation who arrived to do disinfection work and educate people about how to prevent Ebola.

According to a journalist who escaped and later spoke to a radio station in Guinea, she said residents who have always rebuffed government's effort in containing the spread of the virus, gathered around them, first started by insulting them then the physical assault started. Overall, 8 people were killed.

Damantang Albert Camara, a government official who spoke on the incident said the bodies of the workers were dumped in the septic tank of a primary school in the village. Their bodies were found yesterday September 18th.  
"On Thursday, the eight bodies were found in the septic tank of the primary school in the village. Three of them had their throats slit. They had been killed in cold blood by the villagers" he said

there are parts of Africa that are still really backward, I cant phathom how it came to their warped minds that murder of govt officials was the answer to the stigmatization their community suffers for being Ebola pioneers.

We are so backwards in this Africa and our governments are not even helping matters at all. if in 2014 pple still live in villages with no form of civilization why wont this happen. I fin it hard to believe that politicians still use "drill borehole, tar the roads, provide electricity etc" as campaign manifest. Which day will we start saying things like R&D??
meanwhile, this $9m arm funds, Linda u are not doing enough to make the message viral. we need to petition this government.. This is absurd..Pls Linda help me send a message to Reno, Obanikoro, Abati & Okupe that I am still waiting to read from them... Cheers.. Happy Birthday once again..

Well it's over with 8 lives trying to help. If 1 escaped i believe others could have escaped. If they did not do the awareness campaign in that particular village / area does not mean they could not do it somewhere else. Once they started with insults, they should have turned back and move somewhere else.
This should be an eye opener on what is possible with human being. Murdering the people who wants to help you.
My dog fell into a pit half filled with water and those that saw it couldn't go near the dog because it was barking and look violent but because it was my dog I went and pulled it out as I couldn't watch the dog die helplessly and the people were surprised.
The perpetrators should be made to pay for the lives of the 8 harmless people killed. Toks

That is what we call Public Fear in Public Health aspect of Disaster management. As far as the villagers are concerned, the health workers were the carriers of the EVD. Is just unfortunate.

Sounds like a story from a failed state. So what is the govt doing about the villagers? I want to hear that the culprits have been apprehended and justice done. As for African mentality sometimes I'm happy to be a Nigerian. This cant possibly happen in Nigeria. Or can it?
