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
