Crowds attack Ebola facility, health workers in Guinea
Crowds destroyed an Ebola facility and attacked health workers in central Guinea on rumours that the Red Cross was planning to disinfect a school, a government spokesman said on Saturday. Red Cross teams in Guinea have been attacked on average 10 times a month over the past year, the organisation said this week, warning that the violence was hampering efforts to contain the disease. During the incident on Friday in the town of Faranah, around 400 km (250 miles) east of the capital Conakry, angry residents attacked an Ebola transit centre and set ablaze a vehicle belonging to medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres. A Red Cross burial team was also targeted and forced to flee, said Fodé Tass Sylla, spokesman for the government campaign against the disease.

GE to use new India manufacturing facility as export hub
By Aman Shah CHAKAN, India (Reuters) – General Electric Co will use its new manufacturing facility in India, which was formally inaugurated on Saturday, as an export hub, with plans to send half of its output to the conglomerate's global factories. The 67-acre plant in Chakan, near the western city of Pune, is GE's first multi-purpose manufacturing facility in India, which will produce a range of products that will include aviation, rail and diesel engines. It will also be a major part of GE's plan to win increased domestic orders, the U.S. company said at inauguration, which was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The GE plant dovetails with the government's push to turn the country into a manufacturing hub with its "Make in India" initiative.

Sierra Leone failed to properly account for Ebola funds- auditor
Sierra Leone failed to fully account for nearly a third of the $20 million earmarked for fighting Ebola during six months last year, the national auditor said on Friday, suggesting bad governance may have hampered the battle against the epidemic. The epidemic has been concentrated in West Africa and killed 9,253 people out of 22,999 known cases since December 2013, according to World Health Organization figures.
