Tomorrow is another day.

It will be interesting to see what it brings to Belarus -- and Europe as a whole perhaps.

Number of protesters in the city center subsided. People go away in smaller groups.

Next country-wide rally is scheduled for 7pm Monday

This one is spectacular! Riot police in Kobryn (Brest region) put the shields down. Protesters applauded them.

In Minsk and large cities, law enforcement is definitely loyal to Lukashenka. But police in smaller towns will be likely supportive to protesters.

Situation in #Belarus has entered a very dangerous phase:

- Opposition does not recognize reelection of #Lukashenko.
- Calls for immediate transfer of power.
- Widespread, nationwide demonstrations FAR beyond #Minsk.

A Venezuela-like uneasy status quo, or a full blown maidan?

Belarus will never see street protests similar to those in downtown Kiev last year that were dubbed ‘Maidan', Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko told journalists on Thursday.

"Belarus will never have ‘Maidan'. I’ve got enough power to prevent this fratricidal war," the Belarusian president said, adding that no one needs this except for "thugs" and the goal of the authorities is to "neutralize them."

Re: People Power Revolution Against Dictator Lukashenka in Belarus
It is too soon to speak of an impending Minsk Maidan, but Belarus looks set for a summer of political discontent that could have serious ramifications for the surrounding neighborhood. In order to survive, Lukashenko may have to resort to measures so drastic that he will burn his bridges with the democratic West. Meanwhile, he must also contend with his frenemies in Moscow who make little secret of their desire to absorb his nation. Belarus has been an international backwater for much of the past 25 years, but it may soon find itself thrust into the very center of geopolitical spotlight.

Convenient for him that would also mean staying in power after a completely fake (Soviet-style) "election".

Svetlana Tikhanovskaya said today she has no reason to fear arrest or flee Belarus. Now her staff says she's gone missing after delivering an official complaint to the Central Election Commission in Minsk.

The decision should always be left the the people, even when they make mistakes.


At least then, there is hope that they can change their minds.


I believe in the system of government our forefathers set up.


Four of my ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War. One of them all eight years and served as a guard for Washington. He was at Valley Forge with him.



The people should have the choice.
