Once, the streets pulsed with a vibrant energy, a symphony of voices demanding change. Now, a disheartening void hangs heavy in the air.

- Whatever the reason remains to be seen.
- But one thing is certain: the silence on our streets speaks volumes about the complexity of social change.
The question is not whether protest will continue, but what form it will take. Will we find new ways to fight of protest? Or will the fatigue deepen? The answers lie in the hearts and minds of those who dare to shape a better future.
