Deadly Protest Erupts Over Proposed U.S. Ebola Facility in Kenya

A protest against a proposed US-run Ebola quarantine and treatment facility in Nanyuki, Kenya, turned deadly after clashes between police and demonstrators left one person dead and at least 19 others arrested. Human rights groups, including the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) and Vocal Africa, accused police of using excessive force, including live ammunition, against largely unarmed protesters and journalists covering the demonstrations. Protesters were calling on President William Ruto's administration to disclose agreements, safety assessments, approvals and operational protocols linked to the planned isolation centre, while also seeking assurances on public health safeguards. The controversy centres on reports that the facility would handle American citizens exposed to the Ebola virus and would be located at the Kenya Air Force Base in Nanyuki. Last week, two people died after being shot as police dispersed similar protests.

Human Rights Watch Accuses Rwanda-Backed M23 of Mass Abuses in DR Congo

Human Rights Watch has accused Rwandan military forces and the M23 armed group of carrying out widespread abuses in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The abuses included forced recruitment, arbitrary detention, torture and killings of civilians and captured combatants between mid-2024 and December 2025. In a 78-page report, the organisation said thousands of people, including children as young as 12, were rounded up in North and South Kivu and taken to detention and training camps in Rumangabo and Tshanzu, where detainees were subjected to beatings, forced labour, starvation conditions and, in some cases, summary executions. Former detainees and other sources also alleged the involvement of Rwandan soldiers in the operations. Human Rights Watch argued that the scale of Rwanda's military presence could amount to effective control over the area and potential liability for war crimes. The report further warns that hundreds may have died in the camps and calls for international investigations, sanctions and accountability measures against those responsible. It urged regional and global actors to pressure Rwanda and the M23 to end abuses and allow justice processes to proceed.
