The promises made, both to themselves and to future generations, now echo hollowly in the abandoned avenues. Is this the end of a movement, or merely a pause before the next eruption?

What remains is not so clear. Some argue that the issues that fueled these protests remain unresolved. Others point to the weariness that has settled over activists, a weariness born of unfulfilled promises. Still others believe that different tactics are needed to rekindle the flame of protest.

• Whatever the reason remains to be seen.
• But one thing is certain: the silence on our streets speaks volumes about the burden of social change.

The question is not whether protest will continue, but how it will evolve. Will we find new ways to fight of protest? Or will the silence remain? The answers lie in the hearts and minds of those who dare to shape a better future.
