 U.S equipment, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialist staff have landed at a base in Kenya where the U.S. ​government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it, according to flight data and officials. At least two ‌people have been killed in protests in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, home to the Kenyan air force base where the U.S. military is building a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.

UPDATE: MEXICO AGREES TO HOST IRAN’S WORLD CUP TEAM AFTER U.S. DECLINES TO ACCOMMODATE SQUAD, SHEINBAUM SAYS. (PHOTO).


 Mexico agrees to host Iran’s World Cup team after U.S. declines to accommodate squad, Sheinbaum says

  

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday that Mexico has agreed to host the Iranian national football team during the upcoming World Cup after the United States declined to accommodate the squad.

Sheinbaum said the decision followed a request from FIFA, which sought an alternative arrangement after U.S. officials indicated they did not want Iran’s team staying in the country for the duration of the tournament, even though Iran is scheduled to play all of its group-stage matches on U.S. soil.

“We have no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico,” Sheinbaum said during her daily press conference, adding that Mexico accepted the request in coordination with tournament organizers.

Iranian football federation officials said the team’s base of operations would be relocated from Arizona to Tijuana, near the U.S.-Mexico border, to simplify travel logistics and reduce potential visa complications. The squad is expected to travel between Mexico and the match venues via Iranian carriers.

The Iranian team’s participation in the June 11 to July 19 tournament had been uncertain amid heightened regional tensions following military strikes involving Iran and Israel earlier this year.

Iran is scheduled to play its Group G matches in Los Angeles against New Zealand on June 15 and Belgium on June 21, before traveling to Seattle for its final group match against Egypt on June 26.
