Abstract
The humanitarian response to the DRC’s Ebola health emergency between 2018-20 was met with popular resistance by local populations, drawing attention to the perceived failures of humanitarian responses in the country over decades. To declare Ebola a health disaster was to reveal the disease’s connections with politics, in sharp contrast to the lack of protection provided to those living through daily violent atrocities.
