Flight bans from Ebola-hit countries will stay in effect, Kenya tells AU

The Kenyan government has declined to comply with a request from the African Union to resume flights to and from Ebola-effected countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, Kenya's Capital FM reported Tuesday (September 16th).

Kenya announced a ban on travellers from the three West African countries on August 19th, and grounded flights on those routes.

"We have a protocol on how to lift the ban and it is a health protocol. Once we are satisfied that it is okay to lift it, then we will do it.

Excellent news for me at least...and perhaps for the people of East Africa in general.Good for me because we're scheduled to go to Kenya in a couple of months.

But in general ebola sounds like something that could easily get far,far uglier than it already is...particularly in a desperately poor part of the world like Africa.

What happen when what is left of our 500) troops ( why are we using military?) come back to the USA? Did you know that Ebola is caught by air born particles on the surface of the skin. Has obama just killed millions in the US? Why are we such sheeple?

Smarter than the idiots running the US government!

Why in Hell is Obama sending 3000 military personnel to “fight” ebola? How? ...The guy and his handlers are lacking common sense at the lowest range.
