<p>The Ebola outbreak has already generated sporadic public order, social and political
problems. While we do not anticipate a major breakdown in the countries affected,
we recognise the possibility of deterioration and are working to mitigate this risk
through increased political messaging, security sector support and though bilateral
and multilateral channels. <br><br>The UK will continue to work with the affected
governments, regional bodies such as the Economic Union of West African States and
with other international partners to ensure that risks of instability are managed.
Since April 2013 the International Security Advisory Team (ISAT) has been supporting
the security sectors in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea to help build economic and
political stability. ISAT’s work with Sierra Leone builds on more than ten years of
UK support for the country’s security sector following the end of the civil war in
2002.</p>
