[Event]Anti-Corruption Celebration evolves into Riot

[m]Building on here,here, and here.

Last Month, the former President of Somalia named several co-conspirators during the criminal corruption case against him. Accusations range from accepting of bribes and insider trading, to sexual assaults against Women working in government offices and other abuses of power. More then one hundred official, mostly withing his own ruling party, were named by the ex-president across all branches of government. Several arrest were later made.

Tragedy struck after a motorcade of unmarked cars that was set up to transport the arrested government official in secret passed near people who were celebrating the recent removal of the same corrupt officials. Things turned violent after the crowd realized who were in the unmarked cars. The Crowd quickly surrounded the vehicles, pulling out several of the corrupt officials, and began to viciously assault them. The Guards and Police, fearing further escalations, stood back at first before eventually moving in to quell the mess.

In total, 32 of the arrested official were killed, and many more were left in critical condition. Police are on high alert to suppress further violence. The assault has caused Several members of the ruling, Sharia law enforcing,party of the ex-president, many who were not even accused of crimes, to resign from their positions in the Parliment.

The Current Prime Minister had this to say:

"Given the Current situation, I would like to remind the country that, legally, the ruling part gets to appoint replacement members of parliament to fill the seats they one in the last elections. I will not interfere with that right, I will only ask that they ruling party learns from this tragedy, and that they listen to the voice of the people"

He went on to say we can expect further news as the situation develops.
