May be more people should call the White House as suggested. What about calling Government Houses in non-Ebola hit African countries? African countries pay a heavy price for not taking care of business? I remember an Akan proverb that was shared on this forum which says one who is always broke may have to take financial advice from a fool. If you ask for and accept assistance, you may also be accepting interference in your affairs.
How often are African countries at the mercy of other countries to resolve self-made problems? If public health was a priority in African countries, the Ebola epidemic may not have been as bad as it is now. The Ebola hit African countries are mostly on bended knees requesting and praying for assistance from oversea. Do the countries' leaders ever wonder why roles are not reversed? Poverty is not always a natural human condition. Quite often times it is a choice.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Obama sleeps while the ebola virus kills Africans by the score (Breitbart)

To add to the above article, let me say that Mr. Obama must send his favorite toy, the drone, to deliver tons of much needed medical equipment to Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Mr. Obama, you are not doing enough. This is a medical emergency for Liberia and Sierra Leone. More effective and positive intervention is crucial to avoid loss of lives.
We should each call up the White House and remind the President that this is 'a just war' - against a deadly virus.
Prof. Gloria Emeagwali
