Kenyan police cracked down on a protest against a U.S. Ebola quarantine facility in Nanyuki, using tear gas to disperse demonstrators. The proposed 50-bed facility at Laikipia Air Base is intended to treat American citizens exposed to Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, or Uganda. Residents near the site fear the facility will expose them to Ebola, and Kenyan citizens accuse the U.S. of outsourcing health risks. Protesters expressed concern about cross-border infection risks and lack of government transparency regarding the treatment centre. A Kenyan high court issued a pause order on the construction of the facility. Kenyan President Ruto is defending the plan, citing Kenya’s debt of gratitude to the U.S. for years of aid. According to SCMP, two people were killed during the protests.
