    This is shameful. This was part of a weekly protest at Beita. These protests have been going on for years and mostly without incident. I’ve seen them firsthand. It’s primarily symbolic. There is stone throwing in the direction of soldiers, but usually dozens or hundreds of feet away. It can obviously be dangerous when tensions are high, but this kind of incident should not happen.
