Liberia's parliament building caught fire during protests demanding the ousting of the speaker and president.

Liberia's parliament building caught fire during ongoing anti-government protests, marking the second fire in a week. Demonstrators are calling for the removal of the parliament speaker due to corruption allegations and for President Joseph Boakai to step down. The cause of the fire remains unknown, and President Boakai has ordered an investigation while condemning the destruction. The situation has been tense due to a parliamentary deadlock over the speaker's potential removal, which has prevented the passage of the annual budget.
