Mawlawi Abdul Hamid: The country is in the hands of the military
Mawlawi Abdul Hamid, the Sunni Friday prayer leader in Zahedan, strongly criticized the government officials and their repressive policies, as well as the dire situation of the people, especially in the impoverished provinces, during the Friday prayer on February 10.
Right now, the country is in the hands of the military. Many officials are military personnel. We like the military, but their job is something else.
The country should be in the hands of politicians, and responsibilities should be with those who are compassionate and have expertise.
The nation feels a crisis and has lost hope.
He emphasized that the protests continue because people know their problems won’t be solved. He explained this situation further by adding that many people are in debt and cannot make ends meet. The twenty-thousand-toman dollar has become forty-five thousand tomans, and people can no longer buy, sell, or trade.
