NAIROBI ¨C A Kenyan court blocked on Tuesday for another three weeks a proposed U.S. Ebola quarantine facility that has triggered protests in which two people were killed, and ordered the government to disclose its agreement with Washington.
The proposed 50-bed unit on an air force base in central Kenya for Americans exposed ?to the virus in Democratic Republic of Congo or Uganda has angered many Kenyans. They accuse the U.S. of offloading the health ?risk of ?caring for patients.
A Kenyan court last week temporarily suspended the plan in response to a lawsuit from ?a legal advocacy group. However, U.S. military aircraft have continued to fly in staff and equipment in recent days, according to a U.S. official and diplomatic sources.
