@JaclynJohnsonPS, Zach Streicher, and I talked about this type of tension becoming a real possibility via @FPRI. We thought (and think) it would stem from the armed forces angry at their mercenary counterparts but this highlights an additional angle

Protesters how now entered the Kenyan parliament, part of which is on fire.

I am hearing that 10 or more people have been shot dead.
