The economic impact of Ebola: “Isolate the virus, not the country”
In recent months, Liberian Minister for Gender and Development Julia Duncan-Cassell travelled the United States, United Kingdom and The Netherlands to engage with foreign governments and businesses, and look past Ebola. Her message: “isolate the virus, not the countries involved”. Club Africa spoke with the minister and two entrepreneurs from the affected region to better understand the effect Ebola has on businesses in West Africa.
“The Liberian economy has come to a complete standstill”, minister Duncan-Cassell says. “Out of fear for the disease, foreign investors and expatriates fled the country. Mines shut down and railroads are no longer in use. If you were a truck driver in Monrovia you are forced to quit your job, as everybody is afraid to contract Ebola. Vessels have stranded at the Liberian coast. They have permission to enter Liberia, but once they leave our port they will be refused by neighbouring countries. The cause of this crisis clearly lies with our healthcare system. Already poorly equipped healthcare facilities collapsed under the influx of patients, let alone could treat patients in a manner appropriate to curb the disease. Our call to international investors and business people is to help us rebuild healthcare capacity, so that we might control the virus in the foreseeable future.”
Liberian Minister Duncan-Cassell concludes: “The number of Ebola victims will surpass 20,000 within six months if nothing is done. Looking beyond Ebola, the government prioritises citizen education in order to help people distinguish fact from fiction. In addition, our aim is to strengthen healthcare institutions. We welcome all foreign investors, entrepreneurs, NGOs and other international partners who want to help us fight Ebola – the crisis is too debilitating for us to solve it on our own.”

Our call to international investors and business people is to help us rebuild healthcare capacity, so that we might control the virus in the foreseeable future.”
Business goes on
Though the epidemic is widespread, not every of Liberia’s fifteen counties has been hit equally hard. Outside Monrovia, business goes on. Stanley Slagmolen, whose family has owned a rubber plantation since the 1950s, says: “We implemented strict preventive regulations for our Liberian employees. Largely destroyed by the Liberian civil war, in 2010 we began replanting trees on our farm, which covers one hundred hectares of land. We employ local rubber craftsmen and women, and supervisors who oversee the plot. Because of the Ebola outbreak, no outsiders are allowed to enter the farm. Employees wash their hands with chloride. Public transportation is ruled out; employees must make use of the company’s transportation services. We try to bring ill employees to healthcare facilities, but with that I touch on the main cause of the current epidemic: Liberia’s medical infrastructure collapsed in its entirety.”Starting all over again
In neighbouring country Sierra Leone, in a similar fashion economic activity slowed down. Simon Seisay, Business Development Manager Sierra Leone at Holland Shipyards, not only recounts the impact Ebola has on business in his country. Due to the virus, he lost relatives, friends and colleagues. Simon: “Because of Ebola, in Sierra Leone we will have to start all over again – the epidemic cut back all we built up. The confidence and motivation that the Sierra Leonean people so direly need, was robbed from them. When Ebola will have been eradicated – and it will – we face an enormous task: rebuilding our economy.”Looking beyond Ebola
Liberian Minister Duncan-Cassell concludes: “The number of Ebola victims will surpass 20,000 within six months if nothing is done. Looking beyond Ebola, the government prioritises citizen education in order to help people distinguish fact from fiction. In addition, our aim is to strengthen healthcare institutions.

Bladenboro, North Carolina (CNN) -- Claudia Lacy says she can accept anything: even that her youngest son committed suicide -- if it's proven and explained to her.
However, she says, local and state investigators have done neither to support their theory that Lennon Lacy hanged himself one summer night.
"That's all I've ever asked for: what is due, owed rightfully to me and my family -- justice. Prove to me what happened to my child," Lacy says.
She says she's long lost confidence in the Bladenboro Police Department and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.
Now, the FBI is looking into Lacy's death and the local and state investigations that followed.
Without clear answers, the past few months without him have not been easy.
"I look for him and I don't see him. I listen for him and I don't hear him," Lacy says.
The last time Lacy saw and heard her son was August 28. Lennon, 17, played the lineman position for the West Bladen High School Knights, and was focused on football.
His family says that night, he packed a gym bag, washed his ankle brace and hung it on the clothesline to dry before heading out for an evening walk.
The teen had asthma, his mother says, and a doctor had recommended he exercise outdoors at night when the temperature and humidity dropped. Around 10:30, Lennon left his family's small apartment and headed down a dirt road.

Ethiopian Airlines Voted Best in Africa by Premier Traveller
Ethiopian AirlinesEthiopian Airlines has been recognised as “Best Airline to Africa” by one of the most prominent travel magazines in the United States, Premier Traveller, at a ceremony held recently in Los Angeles, California.
Commenting on the award, CEO of Ethiopian Airlines Group, Tewolde Gebremariam, said, "We are honoured that Premier Traveller Magazine’s readers in the US have selected us as the best airline for travel to Africa. I wish to thank them for this vote of confidence, which once again reaffirms the quality of the service and product we offer. We currently offer the best connectivity options for the travelling public between Africa and the US, thanks to our daily flights from Washington D.C. using the ultra-modern B777s and B787s, and our extensive African network covering 49 destinations with daily and more flights.
Gebremariam said in June 2015, the airline would further cement its position as the airline of choice for travel between Africa and the US by adding Los Angeles as our second point in the U.S. Our flights connecting Addis Ababa, Dublin and Los Angeles will be operated with the B787s, which offers unmatched on-board comfort, and will be the only direct service connecting Africa with Ireland and the West Coast of the United States."

Facebook Amharic to English translation goes wild
Well, now a days most companies are trying to narrow the language gap between web site visitors from various parts of the world by offering machine translation technology as an aid to understand the content of some topics, in most cases the machine translation works so so for Latin based languages such French, Italian , German, Spanish, Dutch and others and it tries its best for Asian based languages such as Chinese (Simplified Chinese), Japanese and Korean languages. But when it comes to Amharic the machine translations fails baddy. Here is the best example.
In one Facebook's video the caption reads in Amharic as "አስቂኝ የድሮ ዳንስ"and Facebook suggested a "translation" to this sentence. When you click on the " See Translational" link the whole sentence appeared as-is with out any change as "አስቂኝ የድሮ ዳንስ". This is 100% fail translation or a joke. Facebook should not suggest a "See Translation" where they can not support that particular language, the best method could be:
1. Warning the visitors as "This language is not supported"
2. Disable "See Translation" option for this and similar languages,
Otherwise, Facebook and other companies are making a joke on more than 100 Million Amharic speakers by simply translating Amharic in to Amharic. That is is not translation but Copy & Paste.
