An angry crowd has set fire to part of a hospital in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, at the centre of the country's Ebola outbreak, after the death of a young man suspected of having the virus. Health workers had refused to release the body, triggering clashes in which police fired warning shots and medical tents were torched. Authorities say the unrest underscores growing mistrust and misinformation around Ebola, which has already killed more than 130 people in the region.  To unpack the latest developments, Peter Ndoro spoke to our correspondent in Goma, Jimmy Shukrani.
