The fight against Ebola poses a challenge in the Central African Republic. In Zemio, in the country’s south-east, proximity to the Democratic Republic of Congo has raised fears that the virus could spread across the border. But health screening remains difficult. The repeated absence of health workers at checkpoints is hampering surveillance, while residents continue to cross the border through unofficial crossing points, as FRANCE 24’s team on the ground reports.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the shooting of a man by ICE agents in the Bronx as “an outrage” and called for the agency’s withdrawal from the city. The man, identified by authorities as 28-year-old Oscar Belgal, was wounded after an ICE agent discharged a weapon into the man’s vehicle, which also had a 5-year-old sitting in the backseat, city officials said.

The 5-year-old was not injured and the man was transported to hospital before being taken into ICE custody.

Mamdani said he had spoken to President Donald Trump and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to negotiate the man’s release, but “those negotiations were unsuccessful.”

An ICE agent in plainclothes shot 28-year-old Oscar Belgal in New York City Thursday afternoon while he was pulling into a parking space with a young child inside the vehicle, hitting his left ear. Joe blasts the incident and condemns ICE for shooting at a moving vehicle. “Bullets don’t know what children are sitting in the backseat of those cars,” he says on Morning Joe.
