People Storming the Parliament

Thousands of people in Kuwait on Thursday stormed the parliament of the country after the police and elite forces beat them as they were marching on the prime minister’s home to demand him to resign. Mussallam al Barak, an opposition member of the parliament who led the protest along with some of his colleagues, said that the people were now in their house, referring to the house of the parliament, and that the demanded the dissolution of the parliament over corruption.
People broke into the main chamber of the parliament, where they sang the national anthem, and then they left after a few minutes. They entered the parliament after the police beat them as they were marching to the house of prime minister Nasser Mohammad al-Ahmad al-Sabah, a member of the royal family, to demand him to stand down. Reports say that several people were injured in the clashes.
This is the first outburst of violence in the oil-rich small Gulf country since December 2010, when elite forces beat up people and members of the parliament during a rally. Tension accumulated as the members of the parliament got word that 16 of them received $350 million in bribes.
This is why the opposition demanded the resignation of Sheikh Nasser, accusing him of failing to fight corruption in the country. On Wednesday, 20 opposition MPs boycotted a parliament session, a day after the government averted a bid to question the Prime Minister.
The 71-year-old prime minister has been targeted by the opposition since 2006, when he took office. During this period, the parliament was dissolved three times.
