Carribean Islands Of Dominica Cancels Flavour's Show Because Of Ebola.



The Caribbean island of Dominica has canceled a contract with a Nigerian band scheduled to participate in a local music festival, citing worries about the Ebola virus.

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said Thursday that he struck the band called
"Flavour" from the lineup of Dominica's three-day World Creole Music Festival
out of "an abundance of caution." He noted that a total of four musicians
would have flown in from Nigeria.

According to him Nigeria is one of several countries in West Africa where Ebola has spread.
It is unfair to classify Nigeria under this category afterall the vast majority of more than 3,800 deaths linked to Ebola have occurred in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
