Kenyan Protests Turn Violent Over US Ebola Quarantine Plan
TL;DR Summary
Two people were killed in Nanyuki during protests against a planned US Ebola isolation centre at the nearby Laikipia Airbase; one died after being taken to hospital and the other was dead on arrival, with details unclear. Demonstrators blocked roads and police used tear gas as the 50-bed centre—intended to treat US citizens from the Congo outbreak—faced court suspensions and opposition from doctors. President Ruto defended the project, while the High Court extended the suspension and security remained tight as the issue continued.
