The U.S. is building an Ebola quarantine center in Nanyuki, Kenya, for Americans at high risk of exposure, sparking protests and a legal challenge.
- Protests erupted for a second week, with police firing tear gas and two protesters killed. - Secretary of State Marco Rubio initially defended the facility but later called his statement a misunderstanding.
- Public health experts criticize the approach, arguing it may harm global relations and compromise care for American health workers. - The Kenyan government approved the facility, but a high court has ruled against it.
The debate highlights tensions between U.S. foreign policy, public health, and local sovereignty.
