From Royalist Uprising to Mass Protests: Unrest Signals in a Troubled Nation

Earlier this year, the country experienced a royalist uprising that ultimately failed to gain traction. This event, though quickly subdued and largely overshadowed, served as an early indicator of widespread dissatisfaction with the nation’s political class. The frustration that fueled the uprising did not dissipate; rather, it simmered beneath the surface, culminating in a significant wave of popular protests on the streets this month. The uprising and the current unrest both highlight the deepening chasm between the citizens and their leaders, marking a critical juncture in the country’s political landscape. As the protests unfold, they underscore the urgent need for political reform and accountability.
