00:01The border between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda has reopened after weeks of closure over the Ebola outbreak.
00:09The move restores a vital trade route for the city of Goma, with many residents expressing relief as cross-border
00:15travel and business resume.
00:24We are truly happy to see the border reopen today because our lives depend on it. While the border was
00:29closed, we were unable to provide for our families.
00:37The Ebola outbreak has killed more than 400 people with the WHO warning border closures can hinder efforts to contain
00:44the disease.
00:47Everything was really blocked in one way or another on both sides.
00:51We carry out several activities in Rwanda including banking, air travel via Kigali Airport or taxis to Bugafu and so
00:59on.
01:00So things were very difficult. We are happy to see this reopening. I made my first trip today as a
01:06humanitarian worker.
01:12With Goma Airport closed, the reopened border once again provides a crucial gateway for international travel.
01:23When the border crossings were suspended, the border was closed. It was a loss for both sides because since our
01:30airport in Goma has closed, people transited through Kigali to travel around the world.
01:39Hope is growing as clinical trials begin for a potential treatment targeting the Bunji Bunja strain of Ebola, a virus
01:47that still has no accrued vaccine or treatment.
01:51Thanks a lot.
