It's clear that the king does not have support. |
No matter what the royal government does, we will stick to our plans for a peaceful demonstration, and we strongly believe that it will be non-violent. |
Now it is clear he will not be able to bring peace back to the country. People are willing to die for this. Anger is there, it is growing. |
