KYIV, Ukraine – Tens of thousands of Belarusians asked the authoritarian president to resign from marching in the capital as the country’s wave of protests enters its seventh week.
Hundreds of infantrymen blocked the center of Minsk, deployed water cannons and armored corps of worker transports, and erected barbed rope fences. Protests are also taking place in several other cities, adding Brest and Grodno.
The crowd in Minsk is about 100,000 people, says Ales Bialiatski, Viasna’s human rights chief, who says dozens of protesters have been arrested in Minsk and Grodno.
Protests began on 9 August after an election that, according to official effects, gave President Alexander Lukashenko a sixth term; the parties to the conflict and some pollsters say the effects have been manipulated.
Lukashenko, who has taken strong action against the opposition and independent media for 26 years in power, rejected advice to argue with protesters. Many members of the Coordinating Council, which was formed through the opposition to drive a power transition, were arrested or fled the country.
Protesters in Minsk displayed red and white flags that were the national norm of independent Belarus before being replaced in 1995, at the beginning of Lukashenko’s tenure. Some posters show symptoms showing Lukashenko as a bigotuda cockroach.
Although demonstrations have taken place since the elections, Sunday’s demonstrations in Minsk were by far the largest and attracted crowds of up to 200,000 people.
“Every Sunday you show yourself and the world that other Belarusians are power,” says Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, who is lukashenko’s main opponent of elections, in a video message from Lithuania, where she is in exile.

President Donald Trump’s leadership has said sanctions were reactivated as a component of the “backtracking” mechanism in a historic 2015 nuclear treaty: Washington withdrew from the deal.

Pompeo told Fox News that “sales of weapons, tanks, air defense systems, all in a few weeks, may have been sold. And the Europeans didn’t sign up for us. “
“They tell us privately that we don’t need arms sales to get back . . . but they didn’t lift a finger. “
Pompeo adds that “the weapons Iran will sell will end up in Hezbollah’s hands and tragically worsen the lives of the Lebanese people,” which was shaken last month by the explosion of a port in Beirut.
Sanctions against Iran were lifted when it joined the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States) and Germany to signal the 2015 treaty aimed at reducing Iran’s nuclear program.
Pompeo is also calling for basic adjustments from the Iranian government in comments made to a conservative megachurch in suburban Dallas, Texas.
“We pray that other Iranians will get a government they deserve,” he said.
