According to Yap Boum II, deputy incident manager at Africa CDC, the most affected nations are Angola and Burundi, where poor sanitation and limited access to clean water have fueled the epidemic. While cases have slightly declined in South Sudan, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, these countries still bear some of the heaviest burdens.
Cholera, a bacterial disease transmitted through contaminated water or food, continues to challenge fragile health systems across the continent, especially in regions already struggling with conflict and displacement.
