KENYANS SHOT DEAD PROTESTING US EBOLA CENTRE Tragically, Kenya has already seen its first victims linked to the controversy surrounding the proposed Ebola quarantine centre in Laikipia County, as local Kenyan media reports that two people have reportedly been shot dead in the town of Nanyuki amid protests against US plans to establish an Ebola isolation facility at Laikipia Air Base. One of the victims was shot near the airbase where demonstrators had gathered to protest the quarantine facility. He later died after being rushed to hospital by friends. The second victim was reportedly already dead when soldiers brought his body to the hospital. The protests erupted after Kenyan President William Ruto publicly confirmed that he had personally authorised the establishment of the US Ebola quarantine centre at the request of President Donald Trump, despite Kenya’s High Court having temporarily suspended the facility just days earlier following public health concerns raised by the Katiba Institute. Many protesters argue that Kenya should not be used as a quarantine site for foreign citizens exposed to deadly viruses abroad and see the decision as part of a wider pattern of neo-colonial subservience to Western powers.

Thanks to CNN for the opportunity to discuss the U.S. plan to open an #Ebola quarantine, isolation, and treatment facility in #Kenya for Americans. I shared concerns about this approach and why exposed Americans should be repatriated and cared for within the specialized systems we’ve already built.

EBOLA: Africa Is Not a Dumping Ground for Western Fears America wants to protect itself from Ebola by moving its exposed citizens to Kenya, a country with no recorded cases of the disease. In plain language, the United States does not want the risk on its own soil, so it wants to move that risk to Africa. Kenya’s High Court has now suspended the plan, blocking any Ebola-related quarantine, isolation, or treatment center tied to the US or any foreign government. The case, brought by the Katiba Institute, argued that the plan posed a threat to life if allowed to proceed without proper safeguards. This is bigger than one facility. It is about how Africa is still treated as a convenient dumping ground for Western fears. When the risk is too dangerous for America, it suddenly becomes acceptable for Africans. Ruto’s government must answer a serious question: why should Africa carry a public health risk that America refuses to carry for itself?
