Seventeen people deported to Equatorial Guinea (a small Central African nation) from the United States say they are being held in a Malabo hotel alongside at least one suspected Ebola patient, their lawyers confirmed Thursday. Authenticated videos show hazmat-suited medical personnel disinfecting areas of the Bamy Hotel, which was converted into a deportee detention centre after a reported $7.5 million deal between President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and the Trump administration. The deportees, who hail from Angola, Mauritania, Ethiopia, and other nations, say they were given minimal warnings by a doctor but received no protective equipment or further information — a serious concern given the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, some 1,400 kilometres away, which has killed over 600 people since May.
