Hundreds of youths in Kenya's central town of Nanyuki demonstrated on Monday against the establishment of an Ebola quarantine center at Laikipia Air Base intended for American citizens exposed to the virus.
The protest took place at Laikipia Air Base, where demonstrators opposed plans to create the quarantine facility. The proposed center was designated for American citizens who had been exposed to Ebola, according to reports from Newsmax and the South China Morning Post.
Kenya's High Court has suspended the project pending review, Euronews reported. The court's intervention came as protests mounted against the planned facility.
The demonstration drew hundreds of young people to Nanyuki, a town in central Kenya. Protesters gathered on Monday to express opposition to the quarantine center's establishment at the air base, which serves as a military installation in the region.
According to the sources, the quarantine center was specifically planned to accommodate American citizens exposed to the Ebola virus. The proposal to house such a facility at Laikipia Air Base prompted local youths to organize the demonstration.
Newsmax and the South China Morning Post both reported that the protest targeted the establishment of the Ebola quarantine center for American citizens. Euronews confirmed that hundreds participated in the demonstration against the planned facility.
The High Court's decision to suspend the project adds a legal dimension to the controversy surrounding the proposed quarantine center. The court action places the project on hold while a review is conducted.
No injuries or arrests were reported in connection with the demonstration, according to the available sources. The protest remained focused on opposition to the quarantine center's establishment at the military base.
The current status of the project remains uncertain following the High Court's suspension. The review process will determine whether the Ebola quarantine center for American citizens can proceed at Laikipia Air Base.
