On Monday in Nanyuki, Kenya, hundreds of youths protested the planned establishment of an Ebola quarantine center for American citizens at the Laikipia Air Base. This demonstration occurred two days after Kenya's High Court suspended the facility's creation and the arrival of any foreign patients. The suspension is pending a case filed by the Law Society of Kenya and a constitutional watchdog. These organizations cited Kenya's fragile health system as their reason for opposing the quarantine of foreign Ebola patients within the country.
