2 prediction markets price this story:
- Democratic Republic of the Congo — the market puts it at 10%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the U.S. State Department issues, updates, or reaffirms a Level 3 or lower travel advisory for the Democratic Republic of the Congo before January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if no such advisory action occurs within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the linked news story about Rwanda sanctions as the deciding factor, but only official U.S.

The market resolves to Yes if a confirmed human case of Ebola disease in the Republic of the Congo is officially reported between now and January 1, 2027.
