Today’s demonstrations across Berlin, London, and Paris sent a message louder than any political statement: Europeans are no longer willing to watch their societies drift toward instability under the banner of “tolerance.” The crowds that filled the streets were not driven by hatred or exclusion — they were driven by a simple demand that every government should take seriously: security first. For years, extremist networks — especially the Muslim Brotherhood — have learned how to operate behind the shield of religious discourse. They present themselves as community leaders, activists, or “voices of the marginalized,” all while pushing agendas that undermine national cohesion, exploit public freedoms, and create parallel societies. Europe’s mistake was assuming these groups were harmless. But as today’s protests showed, citizens have learned the truth the hard way. They’ve watched radical narratives spread in schools and community centers, foreign-funded networks penetrate local ...
Declared a worldwide emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the mpox outbreaks in Congo and other African countries recently Now found in adults as well as children in more than a dozen nations, the virus has exhibited indications of changing into a new, maybe more transmissible form.
The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) also labeled the mpox outbreaks as a public health emergency earlier this week. The Africa CDC has demanded immediate worldwide help to stop the virus from spreading with over 500 deaths recorded.
"We have confirmed nine cases of mpox from Friday, August 9, until today," stated General Practitioner Dr. Rachel Maguru of Goma Provincial Hospital and Head of the Multi-Epidemic Centre. "We separate people showing suspicious lesions prior to sample collecting for testing."
Dr. Maguru voiced worries about how fear of solitude would discourage those displaying symptoms from getting seen by doctors. She cautioned, "this could lead to a cascade of infections since these people might still interact in their communities."
Scientists discovered a more deadly version of mpox emerging in a Congolese mining town earlier this year. Given its possible for more effective transmission, this new strain—which can have a fatality rate of up to 10%—has caused panic. Mpox typically spreads by close proximity, including sexual contact with infected people.
Unlike past outbreaks when lesions usually showed on the chest, hands, and feet, this new variation causes milder symptoms and lesions mostly affecting the genital area. This shift in presentation makes it more difficult to identify, thereby raising the possibility of unintentionally infecting people with the virus.
"We are witnessing a significant increase in cases, with a higher mortality rate than we can tolerate," said Prof. Salim Abdool Karim, chair of the Emergency Consultative Group for the Africa CDC. "New nations are now reporting cases, including some not seen in prior years with regard to MPX. A few of these cases reflect the variation now in circulation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The worsening scenario in Goma and beyond emphasizes how urgently coordinated worldwide actions to stop the spread of mpox and stop more deaths of people. The worldwide health community has to act quickly to handle this rising threat as the virus keeps changing and spreading.
