The group
left Kenya on October 30 but returned to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on
November 2 after Saudi authorities denied entry, citing the Ebola outbreak
mainly centered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with over 10,000 cases
and a 50% mortality rate.
Kenya has
contained its small cluster of nine cases with no new infections since October
19, yet Saudi suspended visas for Kenyans and those recently traveling from
affected areas.
Officials are negotiating with Saudi and Kuwaiti envoys, while Africa CDC calls the bans unjustified given Kenya's transparent response.
