Ebola is once again on the African soil, without discriminating who to infect or not when in contact with the virus.

While every person has the right to enjoy their health as proclaimed in various international, regional and local instruments and laws, the State as the duty bearer should protect its citizens against any intentional exposure or risks of infection.

President Donald Trump and the US Government have suggested a plan to set up a 50-bed quarantine and treatment facility at the Laikipia Air Base for American citizens exposed to Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or in any neighbouring countries.
