3 prediction markets price this story:
- South Sudan — the market puts it at 32%, with $2 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if an official report confirms a human Ebola case in South Sudan between now and January 1, 2027. The outcome is No if no such confirmed case is reported by that deadline. Readers often mistake the date of the linked news story for the start of the reporting period, but only cases officially reported after the market's issuance date count.
- Will Sudan's Emergency Response Rooms win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2027? — the market puts it at 11%, closing 1 Apr 2028. The outcome is Yes if Sudan's Emergency Response Rooms receives the 2027 Nobel Peace Prize, as confirmed by an official announcement from the Norwegian Nobel Committee. The market resolves to No if no such announcement occurs by March 31, 2028, at 11:59 PM ET. Readers often mistake the deadline for the prize year or assume other news sources determine the winner.
- Sudan / Sudanese — resolved “No” on 1 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump states that Sudan or Sudanese people are involved in the context of the linked story between October 1, 2026, at 10:00 am ET and November 1, 2026, at 12:00 am ET. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the source of the statement, assuming any mention by other officials counts, but only direct statements by Trump are relevant.
