We discuss all that was March 14, 2005. From its buildup in the weeks leading up to that date, the momentum on the street vs the political decisions made, and the movement that withered as political violence took hold.
We also look back at the reasons for the divide that emerged between the March 8 and March 14 camps, carry-over aspirations into October 17, 2019 and where the older demands for sovereignty and independence stand today.
