On Tuesday, Joanne Liu, international president of the global health organization Doctors Without Borders, warned the United Nations that the world was losing the battle to contain the disease. Leaders are failing to come to grips with this transnational threat, she said. Senegal, with a population exceeding 13 million, is the fifth country afflicted in the crisis. But its an especially worrisome one, because Senegal is an international transit hub. More than 30 carriers fly through the Léopold Sédar Senghor airport in Dakar, on the continents westernmost point, ferrying passengers to and from destinations in 25 countries around the world. While most of the routes are regional, some connect with major airports in New York City, Paris, Istanbul, Dubai, and Johannesburg.
