"You have suppressed screams with calls to prayer in mosques. You have prevented city councils from helping on the pretext of being the opposition. You did not call the military to duty for fear of a coup. You have worshipped concrete but failed to do even that properly. Where are your contractor partners you have made into trillionaires now? Countries you had declared to be enemies are now rushing to help the people; you, however, are absent. Thank to your incompentence, ineptitude, churlishness, you have left this nation all alone under the rubble at the hour of their greatest need; you have abandoned them to freeze. You will pay dearly; you will leave with the fury of this nation you have left to die. Scant consolation; too little, too late! Your plunder has cost thousands of lives. This period of "National Mourning" will be followed by one of "national rescue". Let's see if a single person will come to your rescue from under this political wreckage?"
