Only few decades have passed since the continent embraced the values. It has successfully defeated all the challenges, which have threated the existence of the values over the years.
Nonetheless, not all of them have been effectively eliminated. Some have remained strong despite the hard work put forth to make the continent free from the challenges.
Belarus is the perfect example of that. Since the latest election which reaffirmed the claim of Alexander Lukashenko – who has been ruling the country since 1994 – to the post of President, the country has witnessed a series of protests.
The protests have been conducted under the leadership of pro-democratic activists. The activists have vowed to bring the president down from the post. They have questioned the credibility of the election framework.
Meanwhile, Mr. Lukashenko has dismissed all those allegations that have been levelled against him by the protesters as baseless. He has decried the protests, saying that the protests have been organised at the best of certain foreign elements.
The leadership of Belarus has the backing of Russia – on which the country is heavily relied to meet its needs, especially its energy needs.
Sadly, the emboldened Belarus leadership has allowed its forces to use any method to eliminate the protests demanding the resignation of the president.
