Once, the streets pulsed with a vibrant energy, a symphony of voices demanding change. Now, an eerie quiet hangs heavy in the air. The signs are fading, the chants have softened to whispers, and the once-mighty tide of protest is receding into a somber lull. Protest fatigue has crept in like a silent predator, stealing the zeal that fueled these movements. The promises made, both to themselves and to future generations, now echo hollowly in the deserted plazas. Is this the end of a movement, or merely a pause before the next outburst?

- Whatever the reason remains to be seen.
- But one thing is certain: the silence on our streets speaks volumes about the burden of social change.
The question is not whether protest will continue, but what new challenges it will face. Will we find new ways to fight of protest? Or will the silence remain? The answers lie in the hearts and minds of those who dare to speak out.
