Sinada also reported that hemorrhagic fever has re-emerged in the state. ?The health authorities, however, are attempting to cover up this repeated emergency. Hemorrhagic fever patients have been transferred to hospitals in Port Sudan, but the authorities ordered the medical staff not to provide any information on the cases to the press.?

Re: Red Sea State, Sudan: Radio Dabanga reports hemorrhagic fever cases

This is from August 31st.

The Sudanese authorities have prohibited local media from covering any news related to the Ebola virus.Press sources who asked not to be mentioned for security reasons confirmed to APA on Saturday that the security authorities have circulated warning to all media outlets not to publish any news or articles related to the transmission of the Ebola virus in Sudan.

The prohibition came after local media reported on some suspected cases of Ebola in the west of Sudan.

The Minister of Health Affairs for the Darfur Regional Authority, Firdos Abdel Rahman Yousif denied reports of the deadly Ebola virus disease in El Geneina, capital of West Darfur State.

The Sudan News Agency quoted the minister as saying the suspected case had come from Abeche in Chad.

The patient suffered from hemorrhagic fever, began taking treatment from the health center, and was then transferred to a hospital in El Geneina, she claimed.

Hemorrhagic fever in Sudan doesn't have to be Ebola, but it could be. Other possibilities include Marburg, yellow fever, RVF, and possibly even dengue.
