Once, the streets pulsed with a vibrant energy, a symphony of here voices demanding change. Now, an eerie quiet hangs heavy in the air. The posters are fading, the chants have softened to whispers, and the once-mighty tide of protest is receding into the shadows of apathy. Protest fatigue has crept in like a slow insidious disease, stealing the fire that fueled these movements. The promises made, both to themselves and to society, now echo hollowly in the empty streets. Is this the end of a movement, or merely a pause before the next eruption?

- But one thing is certain: the silence on our streets speaks volumes about the fragility of social change.
The question is not whether protest will continue, but what form it will take. Will we break free from this cycle of protest? Or will the movement fade away? The answers lie in the hearts and minds of those who dare to demand change.
