There is an "African" border near me. Its got a fence - which is impressive. The fence does double duty as a washing line and is about waist high.

Or the one between the USA and Mexico, which has more to do with a dislike of the racial makeup of those wanting to cross into the USA?
Isn't a border nothing more than a line drawn in the sand patrolled by armed men in places where it is feasible?
If animals can cross borders at will, then why can't humans also? After all humans are a peculiar breed of apes without fur?
Every year ten of thousands of africans try to cross the border jumping over the 7m high fence.

It seems its main purpose is to stop the refugee processing system from being overwhelmed, as that doesn't place them on Spanish soil proper.
>Spain has two exclave located on the north coast of Africa,
It was more of an example though...borders pretty much don't exist in Africa. The only people that get formally checked are those using the roads & border posts. Once you're on foot its a free for all. Hell there are people repeatedly using deportation mechanisms as a free ride home after doing migrant work.
As for the issue at hand...I have little faith in Ebola being contained to be honest. The overall social setup is uniquely incompatible with containment. That being said Rwanda etc have demonstrated a reasonably approach to AIDS (awareness driven) which did impress me.
