Protests erupt in Kenya over US Ebola quarantine centre in Nanyuki

Kenyan police fired tear gas to disperse protesters in Nanyuki opposing a US-built quarantine centre for Americans exposed to Ebola, despite court orders barring construction. Protesters accuse the US of offloading the health risk from the Bundibugyo outbreak in DRC and Uganda. A previous protest left at least two dead and one wounded. The WHO declared a public health emergency on May 17 due to the rare strain with no approved vaccines.
