The streets of the city were getting filled with the crowd after the news of the detention of the opposition party leaders spread out. Some came with the purpose of a peaceful protest and others came with an intent to ignite violence. The police closed all the ways to the government buildings. They stood in the way of the crowd. There was a tense situation with no one knowing what might happen next.
At the President's office, preparations were going on for the President's address to the nation. The press arrived in the building with everyone wearing the same dress.
On the streets, as some protestors started shouting slogans, a few of them threw molotov cocktails toward the police. The police started throwing tear gas towards the protestors. There was chaos everywhere. Everyone started running in different directions. The protestors started burning public properties. The police tried to disperse the crowd by throwing tear gas and beating them with batons.
At the president's office, a man walked toward the media. Seeing him, all the media personnel stood up. The man smiled and stood in front of a mic. He looked at the media and said, "Let's begin."
All the screens in the country turned black and then the screen turned on again with the president on the screen.
"My citizens, Today I stand before you to announce a new era for our nation."
Everyone stopped their work and looked at the screens. Some on mobile, some on television and others on billboards. The protestors were still busy fighting with the police force.
"I have been your president for the last eight years and you all know how much good work I have done to make this nation a great nation. Don't look at the international rankings as they are fake rankings just to conspire against us. See the domestic rankings. We are at the top in all the categories. Even after succeeding in all the domains, I have come to a stark realization. We have been bogged down by petty quarrels, political halts and the relentless pursuit of power. The honest and hardworking who want to work for the progress of our nation are trampled by the corrupt and influential."
Santano was watching the speech on the television with Jasmine who was in a bad condition. Santano smiled, "It has finally begun."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNhrUA9LRE
