About this market

Who prices it. $68K has changed hands on Polymarket since it opened, $338 of it in the past day, with $17K in resting orders. The gap between the best buy and sell price on South Sudan is 17 points, a wide spread, so the price can jump on small orders.

Other venues. Polymarket is the only venue we track that lists this exact question, so there's no second price to check it against.

What has moved it. No outcome has moved past our alert threshold in the past week. The latest headline we matched to it is “Sudan army drones hit mourners and fuel market killing more than 200 people, sources say” (BBC, October 20, 2026).

What would change it. The fixed date is the deadline: it settles by December 31, 2026, 73 days away. Before then the price should mainly move on news that touches the rules below.

How it settles, in short. This market will resolve to "Yes" if there is a confirmed case of Ebola in the territory of the specified country reported between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
