Two people died from gunshot wounds during Monday protests in
Nanyuki against U.S. plans for a 50-bed Ebola quarantine at nearby Laikipia Air
Base, as a Kenyan court extended its suspension of the project until June
23.
The facility would hold asymptomatic Americans exposed abroad,
like aid workers from the DRC outbreak, with Kenya's President Ruto approving
it as routine partnership backed by $13.5 million in aid.
Critics fear health risks without public input, and even local
lawmakers opposed it, fueling ongoing demonstrations.
