Belarus - chasing a solution

This is what the future looks like for the regime. Endless, futile chasing of protesting Belarusians, ultimately doomed to failure. Belarus will be free! pic.twitter.com/QEeva8ec7o

#Belarus #Minsk Riot police are throwing stun grenades in the crowds. When people are running away, police are shooting at them with rubber bullets. A man was reportedly shot in the stomach (I can't yet confirm this). Police waited till the crowds get smaller and then attacked. pic.twitter.com/lfgWjBfHag

Even at the hardest moments, it has always seemed like the right decision. Food stamps got you food, the water ran (sometimes discolored), and the heat worked (mostly).

That was already more than you could say for life at the edge of an empire that fell apart overnight.

Countries are ratcheting up sanctions on Alexander Lukashenko’s inner circle as the dictator cracks down on protesters in Belarus.

With @Belsat_Eng, we reveal how at least one Lukashenko ally evaded sanctions with ease.

Sviatlana sends ultimatum

National leader, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, called her demands 'The People's Ultimatum'. She described Lukashenka's intimidation, violence and recent targeting of the old as state terror. She also called on those staying silent to denounce the regime or be guilty by association. pic.twitter.com/ntcppSxEBd
