A man was reportedly shot during protests in Kenya's Nanyuki town against a planned US Ebola quarantine centre. Witnesses said the demonstrator was shot as protesters clashed with police. Authorities have not yet commented on the incident. The protesters oppose a US-backed plan to build a treatment facility for American citizens near a military base. Many residents have raised concerns about possible health risks and a lack of transparency. Police used tear gas to disperse the crowd. The protests come days after two people were killed during similar demonstrations. A court had earlier ordered a halt to the project's construction. (PC: Reuters)
