U.S. Ebola Quarantine Plan in Kenya Blocked

The U.S. secretly planned to build an Ebola quarantine facility in Kenya for Americans exposed to a deadly, untreatable strain of the Bundibugyo virus—but a Nairobi court has halted the project amid fierce backlash. Medical workers and activists accuse Kenya of being used as a “dumping ground,” threatening a strike over fears their country’s public health infrastructure can’t handle the risk. With the virus spreading in Congo and Uganda and no vaccine or treatment available, the legal pause gives time to reassess—but tensions are high as Kenya faces accusations of being forced into a dangerous role for foreign aid.
