Kenya Protest Over U.S. Ebola Facility
Description
Kenya erupts in protest as citizens clash with police over a U.S.-backed Ebola quarantine facility in Nanyuki, leaving two dead—activists blame authorities for firing on demonstrators. The facility, meant for asymptomatic American workers exposed in Congo and Uganda, has sparked fears of shifting public health risks onto Kenya, prompting a court injunction. Yet U.S. military flights continue delivering staff and gear. President Ruto defends the project as part of a decades-old U.S.-Kenya health partnership, citing Trump’s request, while downplaying its isolation from Kenya’s broader health systems. Meanwhile, the Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo surges—with over 900 suspected cases and 200+ deaths—possibly underreported, as the virus may have been circulating undetected for months.
