Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Canada suspends for 90 days visas and travel authorizations of the DRC, South Sudan, and Uganda, potentially over 24,000 documents
- •A UQAM student on vacation in Paris was refused boarding by Air France despite nearly a year without return to the DRC
- •An administrator of the Congolese diaspora denounces a 'discriminatory' decision that would not hit a non-African country with the same brutality
BIASES
Diasporic angle: the Canadian perspective prioritizes the local Montreal impact on the epidemiological response on the ground in the DRCMulticultural sensitivity: the coverage gives a strong editorial weight to the voice of the African diaspora and the register of discriminationDistance from the epicenter: the disease is treated first as a Canadian administrative fact, rather than an East African health crisis
QATARSTATEDOMINANT ANGLE
Qatar amplifies the voices of Kenyan protesters on Al Jazeera and announces the emergency meeting of European Health Ministers on Friday

- •Gulf Times announces an emergency video conference meeting of European Health Ministers on Friday, at the initiative of the Cypriot presidency
- •Doha combines anti-American populism via Al Jazeera and European institutionalism via Gulf Times, in an assumed multipolar posture
