    The Wider Image: In Africa’s monkeypox outbreak, sickness and death

    Beyande Kidicho, whose children Miracle Kidicho, 3, Dorcs Kidicho, 9, and Nathan Kidicho, 6, are all suffering from monkeypox, holds a bush rat brought home by his eldest son in the village of Yalokombe, Yakusu, Tshopo, Democratic Republic of Congo, October 4, 2022. Monkeypox was first detected in Congo 50 years ago, but cases have spiked in West and Central Africa since 2019. The illness received little attention until it spread worldwide this year, infecting 77,000 people. In poorer African countries where many people do not have quick access to health facilities, or are not aware of the dangers, over 130 have died, almost all in Congo, according to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC).

    ABOUT QUEWS

    We are a news service born out of a global loss of confidence in media and destabilising polarisation of attitudes. We believe it is possible, indeed necessary, to create a public forum where vital issues of the day are discussed, debated, analysed and circulated.
