Breaking news: Violent clashes in Kenya as protestors storm parliament and ignite sections of the building. Police fire live rounds against demonstrators, causing chaos and injuries.

In a dramatic escalation of tensions, protestors in Kenya stormed the parliament building, setting sections on fire and clashing with police. Reports indicate at least 50 people were injured by gunfire as authorities struggled to contain the chaotic situation. The violent clashes unfolded as hundreds of demonstrators clashed with police, with reports of casualties emerging from the scene.

The protests in Kenya gained momentum as anger over the finance bill mounted, leading to nationwide anti-tax demonstrations. As police fired live rounds to disperse the crowds, the situation turned deadly, with several people reported killed and scores injured. The scenes of unrest and violence gripped the nation as protesters made their voices heard through dramatic actions.

As the chaos unfolded, thousands of anti-tax protesters managed to enter the parliament building, further escalating the situation. Part of the parliament building was engulfed in flames, symbolizing the intensity of the protests. The legislators inside had to flee as the demonstrators took over, creating a scene of unprecedented turmoil.

In a surprising turn of events, Kenya refuted claims of an internet shutdown during the OccupyParliament protests, adding a layer of complexity to the unfolding crisis. Despite the denial, the protests continued unabated, showing the determination of the demonstrators to push for change and challenge the government's decisions.

Amid the chaos, it was revealed that police opened fire on the demonstrators in a desperate attempt to control the situation, resulting in the tragic deaths of at least five protesters and leaving dozens wounded. The violent clashes and the burning of sections of the parliament building mark a dark day in Kenya's history, reflecting the deep-seated frustrations and tensions within the nation.
