seen on Twitter a thread that there's a lot of corrupt government involvement here, apparently from a group called BCL which is a student-activist group 'working with' government. This BCL group have taken guns and machetes to these protesting students.
Irony being that the 'protest' actually started quite peacefully and amicably by children and some headway was being made on road safety/traffic conditions. But then suddenly BCL got involved and it turned nasty.
Interesting to see how the media report this - apparently government have shut down mobile services so that pictures etc are prevented from being shared en masse on just how bad the violence is by BCL. They sound like a nasty piece of work. Wonder when there'll be some intervention, if any, from any other countries to stop the stuff like the rape and murders of women and beatings of journalists recently.
It's hard to fathom for sure, even more so when you know the government are on the side of this BCL group, and not innocent children wanting to make roads safer after friends were killed by a bus
