Wetin dey happen for Iran no be small matter o, my people! Unrest don scatter ground as more than 500 people don lose their lives since the protests begin. Na so dem rights body talk am, wey dey follow the action from different corners of the world.
The wahala start as dem youths come dey vex over everything wey dey happen for di country, wey dem don dey call for a long time! Na since December 28, wey dem dey protest. This one na the biggest demonstration since 2022, and e be like say dem gatz settle am before e turn serious.
As Trump don dey flex him muscles from US side, e don begin dey shout say if dem no calm down, military strikes fit happen. Him don dey meet with him advisers to strategize on how to support di protesters wey dem say dem dey fight for their rights. But Iran no wan hear that one! Their top people don come out dey talk say if any wahala happen, dem go target US military bases for Israel and everywhere wahala fit dey.
During di protests, we don see plenty videos wey show people dey shout and clap for streets of Tehran. But as dem dey gather, di security personnel dey show dem pepper! Dem don arrest over 10,600 people in two weeks. Dis matter no go easy at all!
Di Iranian government dey claim say dem no get any official numbers, but HRANA wey dey keep track of wetin dey happen don say 490 protesters and 48 security personnel don die for di unrest. Di real number fit high pass dis because internet blackout don make am hard for reporters to get correct figures from di area.
As di whole matter dey unfold, Iranian authorities don come out dey accuse US and Israel say dem be di ones behind di protests. Dem even wan hold rally to condemn ‘terrorist actions’ from the foreign powers. Na serious gbege! And di call for solidarity with di protesters don carry reach America, where some people dey protest for the streets to show their support.
For di background of all dis, we fit just wahala say Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian don yan say dem foreign powers dey use terror tactics to destabilize di country. He sabi say dey no be ordinary protest, but dem don dey father paddy paddy with wahala. Families dey beg their children make dem no follow bad gang wey dey cause trouble.
All of dis, while di world dey watch, and di tension dey build. Even di UN Secretary-General don talk say he dey shocked with di level of violence. Di world dey hold dem breath as dem dey listen to wetin go happen next.
Na so di matter be so far, as e ban fire for Iran – and as we sabi Naija, we go dey follow di action closely to see wetin go happen next. Na so levels dey change for everywhere!
