Kenya's parliament set on fire after protests against controversial tax changes turn to riots
A part of the parliament building in Nairobi was set on fire by protesters who managed to break inside following protests gathering thousands, while reports say several dead bodies can be seen in the streets of the Kenyan capital.
At least 16 people have been killed and over 400 injured during mass protests across Kenya, as demonstrators took to the streets to denounce police brutality, corruption, and the death of activist Albert Ojwang. The protests, led by youth and spanning 23 counties, saw intense clashes with riot police firing tear gas and live bullets. Shocking videos show protesters pleading with reporters for help. The government briefly attempted to censor live coverage, but the High Court overturned the directive. Human rights groups have condemned the excessive force used on peaceful demonstrators.
