His promises of political and economic reform generated curiosity from neighboring countries. However, with the increase in human rights violations as...

After the announcement by the speaker of Parliament, all the opposition MPs started protesting against the recalls, leading to the speaker of Parliament calling the police to remove two of the MPs from parliament.
