The United States recently announced that they are going to commit up to three thousand troops to assist in the fight against Ebola in Africa. The troops are going to go to Liberia and they are also going to assist in building 17 Ebola treatment centres in Liberia. America has quite a close relationship with Liberia because after the slave traded ended in America there was a campaign that many of these slaves could choose to return to Africa and so land was bought for them, named Liberia, and those that chose to return, returned to this land. They named the capital - Monrovia - after a President of America who had been quite active in proposing the return to Africa plan, namely President Monroe. It is heart warming to see that they will take this action because frankly, from what we read, these parts of Africa need a lot more assistance and sophistication from the outside world if Ebola is to be defeated – and it is certainly in the interest of the rest of the world that this breakout is contained.

I really hope that the troops and all other volunteers and healthworkers are successful in the fight against Ebola.
There were, however, reports that that health workers sometimes get attacked by the community after a diagnosis is made. So they're making a huge sacrifice and taking a huge risk-not only because they might get infected but also because they might be attacked.
The troops and all other health workers should be applauded for their bravery and selflessness.

Well done to America. Helping out by building Ebola treatment centres, even thou it is a risky thing to do. But my concern is what if the troops get the virus? What will happen then?

Very paranoid about this virus, glad to hear someone is taking action, shouldve been done a long time ago.

The help is welcome. I am sure they will take the necessary precautions to provide the troops with as much as possible protection against the virus.

What a terrible thing to have, lasts for 7 days and that's it. I really do hope they find a cure for it as soon as possible.

Help is on the way........ Everyone seems to have the same concern of the virus spreading to the troops who are going in to try and help. I do think that this was "obviously" thought of and America will undoubtedly be well prepared to ensure that the troops are well protected.
Sometimes we just need to think outside the box and stop being so negative about everything. Something good is happening here, America doesn't have to send out so many troops to help an African Country, but they are. There is something positive happening here, so why do we have to be so negative all the time by stating what can go wrong.
If we can all just be more positive about life and its circumstances, perhaps that will be a great start to a greater future for this world. If you want to be negative and have negative comments all the time, then don't expect anything to change.
Well done America, and thank you!

Lets hope this does not contribute to the spread! I wonder what their plan is to ensure that these troops don't catch it.

Also should Barak not be more concerned with the whole ISIS situation? Innocent journalists being murdered with a message every time!

Well done to the United States for helping out. BUT what if the troops come back with Ebola, it is a quite a serious virus.

I am quite concerned that the Ebola virus comes here. But kudos to trying to help. They just need to make sure they are cautious when they are there so that it does not spread even further

Very nice gesture, then the troops will come back with ebola... and people wonder how it spreads.
