The UN's new mission chief on Ebola condemns a problem of coordination in the fightback against Ebola. The three west African countries worst hit by the epidemic should be leading the response.

"There is a problem of coordination," he said on his first visit to Monrovia, warning of "too many cooks in the kitchen" with good intentions.
The Ebola crisis has claimed 8,235 lives over the past year, almost all of them in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Liberia, long the hardest-hit country, has however seen a steep drop in new infections in recent weeks.
But Ahmed warned "there is still a lot to be done in order to declare Liberia Ebola free".
"It is always in this moment of optimism that you can see some degree of complacency," he said.

The country's chief medical officer Brima Kargbo told AFP that a similar campaign over two weeks in December had been a success, leading to 266 new Ebola cases being discovered.
