Planned Ebola Facility - Kenyans and Police Clash During Protest

Hundreds of Nanyuki residents and anti-riot police officers have clashed during a protest against the proposed establishment of an Ebola quarantine and isolation facility at Laikipia Airbase, amid growing national debate over Kenya's preparedness and role in managing cross-border infectious disease cases.

The U.S. had reportedly been discussing with Kenya the opening of a facility to quarantine American citizens who may have been exposed to the Ebola virus but who do not have symptoms.
