It is unacceptable to hear reports of destruction, of bombings, of general mobilizations and of foreign interventions. |
They are followed by a short section listing some of the common factors that contributed to the success of the mobilizations. |
Furthermore, rebels in the towns and market bourgs planned the mobilizations of nearby rural communes and they organized regional gatherings in their own localities. |
The government responded to the mobilizations with a heavy hand, with cops firing tear gas at protesters and carrying out at least 400 arrests. |
In my humble view, the current mobilizations are a reminder of exactly why we maintain an Army reserve. |
I believe that the seemingly irrational logic of the national can still promote everyday alliances and popular mobilizations. |
