Liberia's Largets Newspaper Compares 9/11 and Ebola Outbreak

Not all agreed with the comparison. Nvasekie Konneh, poet and author, said 9/11 and Ebola “are disastrous,” but are very different. The US was strong enough to handle the terrorist attack, the writer argues, while the affected African countries do not have the ability to handle the Ebola outbreak. They are poor, less educated, lack regular hygiene, and have a mediocre medical system.

Another expert, journalist Stanford Peabody, added that 9/11 was a one-time attack, while Ebola is still going strong. Ebola “intimidates, divides, sickens and then kills. It hides and strikes and people are ashamed when it attacks so they hide the weapon and become weapons themselves.” The disease kills entire families and villages. The sick are left to die alone because of the stigma and fear of infection.
