About This Book

A sequence of dated, journalistic entries combining on-the-ground reportage and reflective commentary written during weeks of urban upheaval. It records public scenes—military departures, family farewells, shortages, looting and street violence—alongside debates among intellectuals over punishment or reconciliation and practical concerns about food, transport and municipal services. The author moves between empathy for ordinary participants and alarm at destructive methods, weighing moral responsibility, political tactics and likely outcomes while tracing how everyday life and civic institutions are altered by the conflict.
