The Gen Z protests, variously described as a youth ‘revolution’, ‘uprising’, or ‘rebellion’, have swept across the country, leaving behind a trail of injuries, destruction, and anxiety on an unprecedented scale.

Many hoped to return home with renewed optimism, expecting relief from the harsh grip of poverty and a restoration of dignity through inclusion, participation, and a government willing to listen.
