The unrest started in July when students called for an end to a quota system that reserved 30% of government jobs for relatives of veterans. The situation escalated into widespread violence, prompting authorities to close schools and universities, block internet access, and impose a shoot-on-sight curfew. Despite these measures, the protests have continued, with demonstrators urging non-cooperation by not paying taxes or utility bills and not showing up for work.
