Well Monkeypox is not new here in Africa and according to the Center for Disease Control, monkeypox was first discovered in 1958 when two outbreaks of a pox-like disease occurred in colonies of monkeys kept for research, hence the name 'monkeypox.' The first human case of monkeypox was recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo during a period of intensified effort to eliminate smallpox. Since then almost 11 Countries in Africa have been reported to have the disease and it was known to be endemic.
According to the recent reports by Global. Health, over 160 non-African countries have reported the cases of this disease with 56 in the United Kingdom, 41 in Spain, 37 in Portugal, and single-digit case counts in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland below is the table of confirmed 16 countries with Monkeypox

All those who are infected at the moment have been said to not have previously traveled to Africa meaning the disease may be biological this time and some sources point a finger at Russia since its Military research Scientists had plans to use monkeypox as a biological weapon during the Russian Soviet Union Era but we can’t confirm that also since we've seen a lot of propaganda from the Western media ever since Russia Invaded Ukraine.
THE RECENT OUTBREAK WAS INVESTIGATED TO HAVE COME FROM GRAN CANARIA GAY PRIDE FESTIVAL
The Gran Canarian pride festival attended by 80,000 from Britain and across Europe is being investigated after being linked to numerous monkeypox cases in Madrid, Italy, and Tenerife. As gay men are at the moment believed to be more likely to contract the disease due to the known incidences being at events and locations that attracted large numbers of people from across the LGBT+ community. It has been found that the disease, which was first found in monkeys, can be transmitted from person to person through close physical contact - as well as sexual intercourse - and is caused by the monkeypox virus.
