Protests occur in Dagestan over the operations in East Thrace
Over the past few days, protestors started to gather in Dagestani cities, starting protests over parts of operation Byzantium in East Thrace.
There are 2 main “camps” starting these protests.
The first one is mad over bringing “uncivilized barbarians” (thats what they call the capured tribal people) into Dagestan. They belive that if they were causing issues outside of our country, we shouldn’t let them inside. Their main goal is to send them out of the country.
The second one is mad over the cruelty of phase three in operation Byzantium. As data that surfaced from the secretariat of Defence showes, not only defending soliders were killed during it. Alongside them were leaders, aristocrates, other characters who were associated with tribal leaders, people not cooperating with the military during catures, people who tried to hide something from the military and a few smaller cases. They demand proper honoring of those victims while giving support to the survivors of the operation.
Currently tho, the goverment doesnt really seem to care that much. At current scale, these protests mean nothing to the leadership and while they arent silenced, they also arent a concer to the First Secretary. We’ll see tho if things escalate in the future, close or far.
