In recent events, anti-government protesters have resorted to setting fire to the presidential building. This is showing the violence and severity of the situation in Bosnia. Over 200 people have been wounded or killed in the recent protests, said medical experts. In the northern city of Tuzla, protesters stormed the governmental and presidential buildings of the area. As a result of these extreme actions, the government had to resign, in order to prevent further damage. The protests began earlier in he week when the unpaid workers of the buildings broke out in anger against the police men. Fire, blood, smoke, and gun shots are the only things that are seen and heard. On Friday, hundreds of people gathered by the government building yet again to support the protesters. "We gathered to support the protests in Tuzla where people are fighting for their rights," said Aleksandar Zolja, an activist from Banja Luka. People all over the country are either protesting or showing their support for the protesters. One can only hope that these protests do not result in complete destruction, and does not end up as Syria, where the government resorted to dropping chemical weapons on the citizens, severely wounding even killing children, women and even the elderly.
