ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
BRAZILDOMINANT ANGLE
Brazil breathes a sigh of relief as two suspects are cleared in São Paulo and Rio, and the Estadão warns: the next pandemic is not Ebola but the fragility of multilateralism post-Covid
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •The two Brazilian suspects (Sao Paulo and Rio) tested negative for Ebola but positive respectively for meningitis and malaria — diagnoses that do not formally exclude
- •The Estadão editorial warns that Bundibugyo will not cause the next pandemic but exposes the political fragility of multilateralism post-Covid
- •International health aid has fallen according to the OECD and the WHO pandemic treaty remains blocked on patents and access to vaccines
BIASES
Multilateralist bias: Brazilian press reads every health crisis as a test of the UN system it defends as centralCovid memory omnipresent: the 2020-2022 pandemic analysis grid structures all coverage, sometimes at the price of Bundibugyo specificityAfrican distance: the local Congolese voice remains secondary to Brazilian reflection on global fragmentation
SOUTH AFRICADOMINANT ANGLE
Pretoria sees the Ebola crisis spilling over into Kenya and accuses the US military of defying Nairobi's judicial order: African sovereignty is at play in Laikipia
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •News24 uses the verb 'defies' to qualify the American attitude towards the Kenyan High Court's interim order
- •The South African angle inscribes the crisis in a sovereignist reading: the African judicial institution is being challenged by a foreign power
- •The coverage suggests implicitly that the $13.5 million Americans should fund Bunia and Beni rather than an infrastructure in Nanyuki
BIASES
Judicial sovereignty: South African media systematically values the independence of African courts from foreign powersImplicit criticism of Washington: the vocabulary ('defies') takes a position without openly claiming itAssumed pan-African voice: Cape Town speaks on behalf of a certain continental consciousness without citing Congolese or Ugandan sources
