Kenyan police open fire on protesters as crowd tries to storm parliament – video
A paramedic working on the ground outside Kenya's parliament has said at least 10 people were killed after police opened fire on protesters attempting to storm the building while MPs inside passed legislation to raise taxes. The demonstrations against the finance bill started a week ago and have been driven largely by youth-led digital activism. Young people have used platforms such as X and TikTok to oppose the bill, crowdfund, organise and mobilise protests against it. At least 12 people suspected of involvement in the protests over the past five days have been abducted, according to Amnesty International
