Thousands of protesters have stormed the United States
Capitol as the certification of Joe Biden presidency was ongoing.
CNN is reporting
that the protesters breached the Capitol police and stormed the premises of the
legislative complex just as the US congress was debating the certification
process.
They marched to the building not long after they were
addressed by President Donald Trump who has refused to concede after losing to
Biden.
The lawmakers were expected to count and confirm the votes
cast by state electors during the just concluded US election.
Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington, has imposed a curfew
to quell the riot.
Lawmakers are also said to have “gone into hiding” amid
reports that there are several suspicious packages around the building.
