Papua New Guinea, in the southwestern Pacific, encompasses the eastern half of New Guinea and its offshore islands. A country of immense cultural and biological diversity, it’s known for its beaches and coral reefs. Inland are active volcanoes, granite Mt.

Health officials trying to combat Ebola in western Africa now have a new problem; deadly violence from people suspicious of officials in the first place. A health team trying to raise awareness of the disease had been murdered by a mob using machetes and clubs in a village in Guinea. I have heard that other health teams have been chased off by armed mobs elsewhere in that part of Africa. The people there, after generations of wars and government repression, are distrustful of any officials, and many are believing conspiracy theories about the disease, among which that Ebola is being used as a biological weapon against them. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-29256443
