Hundreds of residents marched through Nanyuki, Kenya, on June 1 to protest plans for an Ebola quarantine facility at a nearby military base. Demonstrators blocked roads, burned tires, and voiced concerns about potential health risks despite a recent court order temporarily suspending the project. Police were deployed to maintain order as tensions rose, and at least one protester was treated for injuries. The proposed facility is intended to house Americans potentially exposed to Ebola, but many locals remain opposed amid reports that preparations may still be continuing.
