Upon seeing foreign aid workers passing by in their Toyota Land Cruisers, some locals have taken to shouting, "Mundele Ebola!" which means "white person's Ebola" in Lingala, Congo's lingua franca. These theories have complicated the process of getting consent for vaccinations in some cases, though most people have ultimately agreed.
"The community in Mbandaka is divided between those who are fearful and those who don't care one bit," Wanza said. "Some people are not aware of how serious this is."
