Police shot at protesters as they breached the parliament complex in Nairobi on Tuesday, with at least five demonstrators killed and dozens more wounded. Angry over proposed tax hikes, many protesters across the country are calling for President William Ruto to leave office.
The military has been deployed to support police, who earlier fired tear gas, water cannon, rubber bullets and – according to a rights group – live ammunition against protesters, as tensions sharply escalated in protests that have caught the government off guard.
