2019 Was Marked by Defiance and Dissent; 2020 Will Probably Be No Different
In a commentary, James M Dorsey, a research fellow at NTU’s RSIS, said that protesters have learned not to surrender the street when a leader agrees to resign, but to keep up the pressure until a process of transition has been agreed upon that will lead to a more transparent, accountable, and open political system. He referred to protesters in Algeria, Lebanon, and Iraq, who have stood their ground and demanded the appointment of a leader untainted by association with the old regime.
