WEBVTT -- English

00:00:14.289 --> 00:00:16.289
It all started on the 23rd of October

00:00:18.047 --> 00:00:20.379
we just wanted change, better food in our canteens,

00:00:20.417 --> 00:00:23.608
better conditions in the factories, so we protested.

00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:28.260
But it turns out that everyone in the country was fed up with this regime.

00:00:28.750 --> 00:00:31.399
It escalated faster than we could handle.

00:00:33.509 --> 00:00:36.584
The Party did not like to hear that we were unhappy.

00:00:37.286 --> 00:00:41.149
So they censored us, from each other, and from the world.

00:00:41.631 --> 00:00:45.112
Heck, they even tried to convince us that we are happy.

00:00:45.689 --> 00:00:50.631
And when we didn’t back down, violence was the only thing they knew.

00:00:51.758 --> 00:00:54.534
So we had no choice but to fight back.

00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:59.152
We had nothing in our hands, but makeshift gasoline bottles

00:00:59.179 --> 00:01:03.335
ammunition borrowed or sometimes even stolen.

00:01:05.025 --> 00:01:09.340
And nothing behind our back but the the words of encouragement from our people

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:11.835
and eventually, the world.

00:01:13.013 --> 00:01:15.474
At least we found support in each other.

00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.605
We fought hard for a week

00:01:19.489 --> 00:01:22.168
but the more we worked to set things right,

00:01:22.549 --> 00:01:25.215
the more problems surfaced.

00:01:25.661 --> 00:01:29.421
After 7 days of fighting we finally got them to agree on a ceasefire

00:01:29.468 --> 00:01:31.468
and we sat down to talk.

00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.599
So what will they do now?

00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:38.649
Will they leave for good? Or will they just come back and crush us?

00:01:40.427 --> 00:01:42.427
I guess we’ll have to wait and see…
