Just like this 😭

Be aware 🚨 This is not the sign of reconciled with the military! But only some kind hearted citizens gave flowers, waters & snack for them! There are some soldiers who don’t have any choices.

Easy to protest against an internet blackout, hard to protest against a genocide. Human hypocrisy at its best.

Are they...saluting the Mockingjay?

This kind of takeover was what the Trump crowd wanted to do back on Three Kings Day - Trump wanted to be the only King. GOP better think long and hard about what's going on in that country.

Were any businesses destroyed? Were any police stations burned? Churches burned? We have a true military coup and the protest was peaceful? Maybe there is something to be learned here, by somebody.

I don't think 2000 people are going to be able to change anything.

A small army without the military!

History has shown that this will not end well

Those three fingers? Satanic sign. Not good. Looks like the satanic demons who have infiltrated the dnc are hard at work over there too!

I’m torn. Both sides in this battle for control are dictators. Both sides are genocidal & stifle speech, just in different ways (one imprisons journalists & the other shuts down news outlets and the internet). The people might be better off taking both down and starting over.
