Thousands of people flood Constitution Square heading towards the Revolution offices. In front of them, units of soldiers stand with their weapons drawn.

Anger in the slogans and gestures of the protesters, fear and sweat in the armed hands of the conscripts.

The first shot was heard, unclear from where and by whom to this day.

The soldiers' weapons fired after a command from an officer.

The fraternal bloodbath began…
