THERE IS NO EBOLA HERE What Liberia Teaches us about the Failures of Aid While health professionals are crucial frontline responders, the Ebola crisis is too important to be left to medical personnel. The virus has emerged from the nexus of several overlapping problems. The international community’s Ebola response is focused too narrowly on the technical aspects and too little on the underlying social and political reasons why the problem has been allowed to fester in the first place. A virus that is deadly but can be effectively contained with good planning and logistics has managed to escape from a country that has one of the largest concentrations of ‘helpers’ in the world. The Ebola outbreak in West Africa serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of ignoring cronyism in countries where a government that is friendly to Western governments is in place.
