Perhaps it's obvious to regulars on this site that this crisis with it's origins in West Africa has at it's root and extent the expanding but uneven development of global capitalism in this part of Africa, but this short article is useful in laying out exactly how that is:

The UK sending a hospital ship to sit off West Africa with a strict policy of "Europeans (whites) only, strictly no Africans with Ebola allowed" of who's allowed on board, is frankly beyond parody.
"We can't be arsed to help out in any useful way, but here's us sending you a little skit of our racist, colonialist mindset for teh lulz", seems to be the message. Presumably G&T and Pimms will be served on the veranda while the ships passengers watch the shoreline and swap stories of how the place has gone to the dogs since the natives took over. Good old Tories, showing those UKIP voters that they've still got it.
