      The thing that most people, including this article get wrong is that this isn‘t really about social media. I mean yes they organized the protest over social media and yes they are upset about a proposal (that has since been withdrawn by the way). It‘s an aspect of it but they are upset about a range things including high unemployment rates among young adults which is why they continue to burn buildings. At this rate they‘re provoking a military coup.
