1/3 The scale of protest in Belarus is smaller today than in the past two days. A de facto curfew is introduced in the centres of all the major cities. In Minsk there are 3 opposition areas on the outskirts atm. Almost no reports from the regions due to lack of internet.
2/3 I think the wisest thing now would be to temporarily postpone the protests and wait for the authorities' reaction. At some point they'd have to bring back the internet. That'd mean that people will actually see what Lukashenko did. Atm only tech-savvy people know.
3/3 It is clear now that Lukashenko no longer has popular support. He only remains in power with the help of the security forces. This situation can't last long. He would either have to put tens of thousands of people in jail or to make curfew permanent - both options unrealistic
