but they help never came and stabbed two weeks later the interim leadership for the homeless and the grieving a choice a parliamentary for a presidential republic. it was never secret that the main goal of the june referendum was to legitimize the self appointed interim leadership rather than carry out political reform impotent during the clashes it proved cunning enough to turn the tragedy into its main electoral. killed by government forces during. his now remember that his village as a national hero. helped bring about freedom and democracy. this pressure in the. country during the revolution.
