Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama says a controversial luxury resort development linked to U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will move forward despite growing protests. In an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Rama rejected environmental concerns as misinformation and said no formal environmental impact assessment has begun because the project remains in the planning stage. But some land is already being cleared. The proposed development includes the uninhabited island of Sazan and a protected coastal lagoon, drawing opposition from environmental groups. Rama defended Albania’s conservation record and suggested misinformation surrounding the project has been amplified from outside the country.

In Congo, the battle against the rare Bundibugyo type of Ebola has been complicated by skepticism, attacks on health workers and misinformation. The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention reported at least 63 deaths from 397 confirmed cases as of Friday. Many locals dismissed the outbreak as a conspiracy. In response, journalist Vérité Johnson launched a radio program in Bunia to combat rumors and educate residents. The World Health Organization and Africa CDC have launched a $518 million response plan. Resistance to health protocols is common in Congo, fueled by mistrust and misinformation, complicating efforts to contain the virus.
