On December 6, 2013, 2-year-old Emile Ouamouno, "Patient Zero" in this recent #Ebola outbreak died in the town of Meliandou in southeastern Guinea. The virus passed from Emile to his mother, and she died a short time later. Other members of his family followed her. The outbreak had begun.
Emile Ouamouno died - one year ago - entirely unnoticed by the global community. Now, more than 15,000 people have been infected. We know that because Americans and Europeans became caught in the crisis, and the world outside West Africa began to pay attention and respond.

But are we paying proper attention, and will our response work...in the long-term? The international community is now working to contain the Ebola outbreak but was engaged in this part of West Africa not so long ago to contain the violence of war. Here we are again. What missteps during that intervention that must be avoided now, if the region is to strengthen against another similar regional crisis a few years down the line?

For 13 years I’ve travel regularly, at least 20 times, to northeastern Sierra Leone’s Penguia Chiefdom in Kailahun District, a beautiful part of the world. My group Taia has invested there commercially and socially in community-inclusive natural resource development (gold, cacao, rice etc.). Penguia is about 40 miles directly west across the Guinea/Sierra Leone river border from Meliandou, the West African Ebola outbreak epicenter.

Frequent travel to the region lends valuable perspective on this outbreak. If you’ve not been there, it’s easy to misunderstand local realities (easy to do even after visiting the place) and assume that if Ebola can be so deadly in West Africa, it could be equally devastating here in the U.S. The part of West African where Ebola has struck hardest only recently emerged from civil unrest and war, and though significant social and economic growth had been realized there prior to the outbreak, frail healthcare systems and infrastructure, particularly in remote, rural areas, left Emile Ouamouno and the rest of the citizenry dangerously vulnerable to a disease like Ebola.
