10 Won The Copa Sudamericana Photo credit: people.com In November 2016, Brazilian soccer was struck by tragedy. LaMia Flight 2933 crashed in northern Colombia, killing all but three of the Chapecoense players en route to Medellin, where they were scheduled to play in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final.The survivors were left-back Alan Ruschel, goalkeeper Jakson Follman, and center-back Helio Hermito Zampier Neto, who remained in a coma for two weeks after his rescue. Eventually, Neto came around with no memory of the crash in mid-December.In the meantime, Atletico Nacional, Chapecoense’s fellow finalists, had graciously requested that South American soccer’s governing body, CONMEBOL, award the title to their opponents as a gesture of solidarity.

Ebola in Sierra Leone – the joy of survivors I travelled upcountry last week to one of the worst affected areas of Sierra Leone – Kenema. When you arrive in the town, there’s a feeling that Ebola has settled in with no plans to move any time soon. Chlorine buckets sit outside most restaurants for people to wash their hands; Ebola information posters are plastered on buildings; crackly radios are loudly broadcasting conversations about Ebola; people are talking about ‘dis Ebola bisnis’ relentlessly on the street; and handshaking has been replaced by a brush of the elbows.
