In Nanyuki, about 200 kilometers from Nairobi, residents continue to oppose the planned construction of a U.S.-run Ebola quarantine center for American nationals exposed to Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. According to the reports, protests do not subside despite the project’s location on or near an air base. On Tuesday, the demonstrations again drew crowds, and the day included clashes between protesters and security forces. The reports describe a sustained campaign of mobilization in the town, with residents expressing anger over the opening of the facility and its intended use for people assessed as exposed to Ebola. The two outlets characterize the confrontation as part of an ongoing local dispute over the quarantine site, rather than a one-day incident. Neither report indicates a change in the project’s status or that authorities have reached a resolution with the protesters. The focus remains on public resistance in Nanyuki to the U.S. quarantine center and on renewed violence during protest activities.
