Court allows secret documents about DR Congo's Lumumba assassination

Description

A belgian court agrees to admit the findings of a 22-year-old parliamentary commission into its investigation. The court is looking into the 1961 assassination of DR Congo's Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba - seen by many as one of the country's founding fathers. The ebola outbreak in Uganda is growing, with almost 30 confirmed deaths - including 4 health workers. The country is set to discuss the situation with the World Health Organisation and the African Centres for Disease Control.
