Government march tiny

December 21, 2002

The Government, by the way, also attempted to hold a large march yesterday. Despite busing people to it (see the white line of buses on the right in the picture below), the TV cameras could not hide the fact that it was tiny. Estimates range from 10,000-15,000 people versus way over a million for the opposition. Here is the picture:


Note that once you get to the overpass there are no people. I don’t even believe there were 10,000 people there. Three or four neigborhood opposition pot-banging marches, which take place nightly, gather as many people as that. So much for revolutionary fervor.
