Kenyan court orders suspension of US Ebola quarantine facility
The decision comes amid growing public backlash in the country to an announced U.S. plan, with critics accusing the Kenyan government of trading the country’s biosecurity for foreign aid from the Trump administration.

But the ruling by the High Court in Nairobi put a stop to those plans until petitions against it are heard on June 2.
