ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
KENYADOMINANT ANGLE
Nairobi erupts in Nanyuki against the American quarantine center at Laikipia: shots in the air, tear gas, and a lawyer pleading 'centers must be near epicenters'
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Hundreds of protesters marched on the Laikipia airbase in Nanyuki, repelled by heavily armed air forces before the tear gas escalation
- •The Law Society of Kenya argues that Ebola treatment centers should be near epicenters (DRC, Uganda) rather than in a country without cases
- •The Nairobi High Court issued a temporary restraining order three days earlier blocking the installation and any transfer of exposed patients
BIASES
Amplified popular voice: Kenyan media give significant weight to protesters and civil society against an executive decision contestedSovereignty framing: the angle of sanitary sovereignty takes precedence over epidemiological analysis of the real risk of importationDistance from the epicenter: the DRC is cited as the epicenter but few Congolese or Ugandan voices are reported
QATARSTATEDOMINANT ANGLE
Qatar amplifies the voices of Kenyan protesters on Al Jazeera and announces the emergency meeting of European Health Ministers on Friday
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Al Jazeera amplifies the voices of Patrick Wahome (organizer) and Malin Ndegwa: 'why not in the DRC, why not in Uganda, why here?'
- •Gulf Times announces an emergency video conference meeting of European Health Ministers on Friday, at the initiative of the Cypriot presidency
- •Doha combines anti-American populism via Al Jazeera and European institutionalism via Gulf Times, in an assumed multipolar posture
BIASES
