The weekend was marked by protests and violence. While the government employed police brutality and arrests as a scare tactic to keep people off the streets, it only led to even more demonstrators joining the ranks of the marchers. Visioner.ge reports that the November 30 demonstrations were among the largest ever recorded, with close to 200,000 protesters voicing their dissent against the current government in Tbilisi alone, accompanied by numerous protests across the country.
There seems to be no end in sight—some are even beginning to call it a revolution. Change is in the air. Let’s continue to closely monitor the situation and offer support where we can.
Look at this country. Look at these people.
