The 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has asserted that the government is more afraid of unarmed protesters than violent threats.
Papers News reports that Sowore made this known during an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday, while condemning the government’s ongoing persecution of peaceful protesters.
Asked whether he believed the government feared demonstrators, Sowore said, “I do. I do completely. They are afraid of placards more than they are afraid of guns, because they have the capacity to respond to people who are shooting at the government, but they have no capacity, they have no ability, and they have no strategy to stop the majority.
