Government Control and Social Frustration

The government's response to these crises has been characterized by stringent control measures, further complicating the situation and limiting the public's ability to express grievances. Experts suggest that the strict limitations on speech and the channels available for airing discontent exacerbate underlying frustrations that lead to such violent acts. Moreover, the aftermath of the attacks reveals a concerning scene, as officials actively remove memorials and suppress expressions of mourning among the victims' families and the community. This cycle of violence and repression is perceived by many as a result of not only the pandemic's impact but also the prevailing sense of despair linked to the declining economy.
