- But one thing is certain: the silence on our streets speaks volumes about the fragility of social change.
The question is not whether protest will continue, but what form it will take. Will we break free from this cycle of protest? Or will the fatigue deepen? The answers lie in the hearts and minds of those who dare to speak out.
