Why it matters

The stakes turn on whether readers accept that the WHO warns DR Congo's neighbours of the risks they face from the Ebola outbreak. That point shapes the political meaning of the story.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: the WHO warns DR Congo's neighbours of the risks they face from the Ebola outbreak.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
