BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Global health security framing: the dominant angle links the African crisis to international governance and humanitarian financing issues rather than local dynamics alone

Preference for multilateralism: the coverage implicitly emphasizes the value of collective mechanisms (WHO, G7) over bilateral shortcomings, reflecting Japanese diplomatic positioning

Limited coverage of local actors: Congolese and Ugandan health authorities, along with affected communities, are largely absent from the narrative, which centers on international response
