Ebola Kills 8 Soldiers [Infected Concubine And Congested Barracks Blamed]
Liberian Daily Observer ^ | October 3, 2014 | C.Y. Kwanue

Posted on 10/06/2014 5:46:39 AM PDT by Scoutmaster

At least eight soldiers, among them two commissioned officers and two medical staff, have reportedly lost their lives to the deadly Ebola virus disease (EVD), the Daily Observer has reliably learnt.

Those victimized by the EVD have been identified as, Private (PVT) Calvin Sackie, Corporals (Cpls) Florson Louise, Fanbiman Samuel, and Private First Class (Pfc) Anthony Sheriff.

Others are Sergeant (Sgt) Kromah, who was assigned as the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) medic and another medic from the Ministry of National Defense (MOD) identified as Annitta Sackie.

The two commissioned officers victimized by the EVD were up to press time not named.

The deceased, according to our source, contracted Ebola recently at the Edward Binyan Kesseley (EBK) Barracks when a lady unsuspected of carrying the disease, visited one of the victims, Cpl Floson Louise. The ‘concubine’ who visited the late soldier has also been victimized by the disease. She is yet to be identified.

“When she slept at the EBK, it was thereafter the soldiers contracted the disease, and could not survive despite “intensive treatment” at the various Ebola Treatment Units in Monrovia,” our source disclosed.

This latest setback among the rank and file of the already sparse number of soldiers has reportedly created panic among them, to the extent that some of them have begun to desert the various barracks across the country.

Based on this information, the Daily Observer yesterday contacted Defense Assistant Minister for Public Affairs, David K. Dahn, who neither confirmed nor denied the report.

He, however, told this newspaper via mobile phone, “The whole West Africa is being threatened by Ebola, of which the AFL is no exception, because they are among other Liberians being afflicted by the EVD.” He disclosed that the military is carrying out some measures at its barracks to decongest the soldiers. “This is why the barracks have become so quiet since the Ebola outbreak in the country.”

The latest deaths of the soldiers sadly add to several Para-military and other security personnel, including officers of the Liberian National Police (LNP), that have died. Others, including close family members, had been quarantined and subsequently released, having completed their 21 days isolation.

After looking at the pictures of Duncan (Ebola man #1) I get the sense he is a sociopath and how much you want to bet he had sex with his girlfriend when he arrived in Dallas?

This reminds me of a lime from Evita where soldiers were complaining about Peron bringing his concubine to the barracks....Its all very well for an officer to do as he please as long as he’s discreet and keeps clear of disease...

Oh you know he popped that in the first hour. The bigger screw is what Obola is doing to the American people.

My prayer will be none of our Military Persons will go stupid and take a chance. Suspect there will be some of Military Persons infected and I suspect how the obolo administration will treat them. Doubt our Military Persons will receive the same treatment as the Doctors and Camera Crew Person. Fair warning to our Military Persons, please be forewarned and please Stay Safe. I hate our Military Persons are deployed. I wish they were not and I wish America had a cic that loved our Military People but it was not to be.

54.

They have a teenage son together, but have reportedly not seen each other for years.

She also has a variety of other children here and in Africa from different fathers. I believe the 13-year-old boy who was in the apartment with her and Duncan is her youngest — could be wrong on that.

Homosexuals are notoriously promiscuous. It’s not men with women that worry me.

52 I think I read. Looks like she and Ebola man were going to have sham marriage so he could get green card sooner.

Obviously these Liberians are lying their ever lovin butts off same as all other 3rd worlders who want to get here illegally
Never believe them or Central Americans, Mexicans, Pakistanis etc etc etc. They will say what will keep stupid liberal happy and will lie about atrocities done to them and their family in Guatemala or whatever cess pit they came from....this is how you get asylum and refugee status which gives you immediate access to all welfare programs.

They will lie and fabricate to all immigration judges and authorities. This is common sense and obvious!!!

You are correct. With the new policy regarding homosexuals openly serving in our nation's Military. It could go to an out of control stage quickly. Thank You for the reminder that is correct and on target.

WIKI mentioned a couple of times in their article about Obola that men’s happy juice will be infectious up to three months if they survive.

Alternative form of the past tense and past participle of the verb learn. More common in British English.

Three months....a long time. And you’ve got to wonder about the outliers in any research.

I imagine some are one month and some are 5 months.

“learnt” - transitive verb, eg “that’ll learnt ya!”
