Protests against constitutional changes turned violent when police fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators. The opposition coalition C64 organized the demonstrations, which were held in several cities. Hundreds of people gathered in the capital, where the protest began peacefully but was later disrupted by clashes with pro-government supporters.

Police used tear gas and warning shots to break up the crowd. The protests were organized despite restrictions on mass gatherings due to the Ebola outbreak. Opposition leader Martin Fayulu made a statement about the event, describing a massacre and police firing at protesters.
