We know very well that we have been gutted and torn out by the roots with meat.
For centuries they have been trying to wipe us off the face of the earth
This was manifested in self-censorship, a prohibition on our true self
And even two years of a full-scale intervention cannot outshout a century
We are trying to revive something that has long been dried up and decaying
But it just needs to be planted again...

This video expresses my feelings as an emigrant who sees citizens of her country. And these people continue to speak the language of the occupiers. How traumatized and broken must the will of a person who does this be?
