As featured on
Hundreds of youths in the Kenyan town of Nanyuki have demonstrated against an Ebola quarantine center at Laikipia Air Base. The protests took place two days after Kenya's High Court suspended the facility's establishment and the arrival of foreign patients. The Law Society of Kenya and a constitutional watchdog filed a case citing Kenya's fragile health system. U.S. officials said Thursday that Americans exposed to Ebola abroad would be sent to the new facility. Health Minister Aden Duale said Sunday the center was for everyone, not just U.S. nationals. The U.S. government says it plans to commit $13.5 million to Kenya's Ebola preparedness efforts.
