Call Me Stormy

Belarus Unites For Freedom

Belarus is seeing its largest protests in history as thousands are calling for the exit of its strongman Alexander Lukashenko. The long-time dictator won another rigged election days ago. Belarusian opposition protesters took to the streets for the eighth consecutive day of anti-government demonstrations Sunday, demanding the departure of the country’s embattled authoritarian leader. Lukashenko’s been in power since 1994 and claimed a landslide victory in a vote that gave him his sixth term in office. Russia, a traditional ally of Belarus, has said it was prepared to offer military support if needed. More from CNBC TV.
