Mpox Outbreak in Africa Prompts Global Response

An mpox outbreak in Africa has prompted a response from world leaders. The WHO says there's an upsurge in the virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo and cases are rising in other African countries. It says so far this year the DRC has reported more than 15,000 cases and more than 500 deaths from mpox, formerly known as monkeypox. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

How come these strange diseases were never common in Africa before the 90s? Makes me wonder whether motherland has been turned into a test ground.
