I think it's important to keep in mind that what fell on December 8th, 2024 was not simply an authoritarian regime.

This was a system, a 61-year-old system that used weaponized sectarian differences, committed war crimes against its own population, imposed a very extreme version of a socialist nationalist ideology on the vast majority of the citizens.

So when this finally falls...

It's not, I think, reasonable to expect that everything will suddenly be okay.

It doesn't work that way.

There's a lot of grievances.

There's deep divides in society.

And I think given all of this, it's remarkable really what we have achieved in one year only.

We got a call from the bank and said, are you aware that there's no funds in this account?
