Containment in Sierra Leone: the inability of a state to confront Ebola?

Pierre Ozer; Aline Thiry; Catherine Fallon; Julia Blocher; Florence De Longueville

The present Ebola virus disease outbreak is spreading across west African nations with alarming rapidity. As of Sept 21, the total number of recorded cases has soared to 6263, with 2917 deaths. The situation is very likely to continue to worsen when the aff ected countries witness the exhaustion of their capacities to respond to a threat of this magnitude, and because massive international assistance is still sorely lacking on the ground. With the objective to put newly infected people into quarantine and to limit the virus’ spread, the government authorities of Sierra Leone decided to impose an unprecedented containment, ordering the nation’s 6·2 million inhabitants to stay at home for three full days, from Sept 19 to 21, with a patrol force of 7000 teams making door-to-door visits to detect possible Ebola victims. Although containment would at fi rst appear to be an easily enacted and economical strategy, its implementation has proven to be more complex, for several reasons. First, how can the entire population of a country, the territory of which extends over more than 70 000 km2, be confi ned while many services must be maintained? Decreeing such an obligation within even a smaller area can be diffi cult. Attempts to place the West Point slum in Morovia, Liberia into quarantine, at the end of August, exemplifi ed this diffi culty. Communication has a crucial role among the challenges presented by the size of the country. How could information be conveyed to the entire population, including the most remote rural areas, which haven’t been taken into account since the beginning of the outbreak? In order for the people to accept containment, it is necessary that they understand and accept the reasoning behind such measures. Moreover, containment eff orts are difficult to implement. Homes and shelters are of para mount importance. Consequently, in a country where access to basic infrastructure is far from widespread, can people truly be expected to remain confi ned in their homes for three days without needing to be resupplied with basic necessities such as water? In a country where more than half of the population lives on less than US

1·25 per day, how can the government expect to contain all those for whom having food on the table at night depends on that day’s labour? How can containment be imposed on a rural population who are engaged in agricultural activities, in the middle of the crop harvest? Such practical issues transform into numerous preoccupations that make people apathetic to the authorities’ instructions. Mandating containment at such a large scale raises many questions. The purpose of these eff orts could well be to send a political message to reassure the population by creating the illusion that the authorities have the ability to control a major crisis on the scale of the current Ebola outbreak.
