Protests in the Kenyan town of Nanyuki turned violent as demonstrators opposed plans to build an Ebola quarantine centre intended for US citizens. Witnesses reported that a protester was shot during clashes with police, though authorities have not yet commented on the incident. Many residents have raised concerns about possible health risks and a lack of transparency surrounding the project. The proposed facility would treat Americans affected by the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The unrest highlights growing public opposition, despite government assurances that the centre is necessary and poses no threat to Kenya.
