U.S. isolation demands rejected, weakening Western influence on regional crisis response. African nations increasingly resist external prescriptions on internal affairs.
Similar to 2014-2016 West African Ebola crisis where local resistance to international interventions complicated containment; also echoes Cold War-era tensions over sovereignty vs. international oversight.
