>The current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has killed 803 people.
This is occurring in an atmosphere that increasingly targets the international health care response.
>The main area of the outbreak is North Kivu, which has been a war zone since 1994.
Conflict seems to have deepened alongside the global growth in the mobile phones market, which has made the metallic ore coltan more valuable than Congo's gold, diamonds, and uranium.
>Coltan is a heat-resistant mix of compounds that conduct high-energy signals inside laptops, electric cars, and cell phones.
>Unless the flow of cash-for-coltan comes to a halt, our cell phones will indirectly fuel violence and spur further spread of Ebola, says Laurie Garrett, a former senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations and a Pulitzer Prize winning science writer.
