The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has defended its Ebola management capabilities as a proposed United States quarantine and monitoring facility in Kenya faces significant backlash, including legal action.

• The High Court in Nairobi has temporarily suspended the project, issuing orders against the establishment of any Ebola exposure, isolation, or treatment facility linked to the U.S. plan.
• DRC Government Spokesperson and Information Minister Patrick Muyaya stated the DRC has experience and expertise in handling Ebola outbreaks.
• The controversy stems from reports of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps preparing to deploy a specialized Ebola response team to Kenya for American citizens returning from the DRC.
