More Photos From Kenya’s Tax Protest That Killed 13 People

The government has been taken by surprise by the intensity of opposition to its tax proposals mostly led by young, Gen-Z Kenyans which culminated in the scenes at parliament that played out live on television.

Images shared on local TV stations after crowds broke through the barricades showed the building ransacked, with burnt furniture and smashed windows.

As police fired at the angry crowds, leaving several bodies strewn on the ground, protest organisers urged people to walk home together and “stay safe”.
