INSIDE THE EPICENTER OF THE EBOLA OUTBREAK IN DRC AS THE VIRUS SPREADS

Hélène Akilimali says she’s taking every precaution against contracting Ebola, including always wearing a face mask in public. But her work as a cocoa seller in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) - the epicenter of the latest outbreak - brings her into daily contact with other people, some of whom doubt the disease is even real, and she has no control over how they behave.

COUNTRY IN FOCUS: NORTH KOREA

North Korea, officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a country in East Asia that occupies the northern half of the Korean Peninsula.
