Two people are shot dead during protests in central Kenya against a US-backed plan to establish an Ebola quarantine or isolation facility. According to multiple reports, the deaths occur in Nanyuki, where demonstrators take to the streets near a nearby military base. Euronews reports that Kenyan police shoot and kill two protesters during the unrest. New Zimbabwe, citing reporting by the BBC, says the protest is focused around the Laikipia Airbase area and that at least one victim is shot near the location of the demonstration. The protests are directed at the proposed Ebola facility associated with the United States, with opponents arguing against the plan. The accounts describe the incident as occurring amid ongoing demonstrations in the central Kenyan town, but they do not provide further detail on the broader circumstances of the shooting, the identities of the victims, or the immediate official response beyond the involvement of Kenyan police. The reports agree on the core points: a protest against the Ebola facility plan takes place in Nanyuki, and two people are killed by gunfire during the unrest.
