The man in the crowd looked thoroughly bewildered by Yogev's sudden revelation.
Yogev wiped away any lingering hesitation from his features, leaning forward over the boulder to address him in a deep, booming bass voice.

We endured a brutal, horrific night because of their cruelty! We are deeply disappointed by their actions, and every single outsider is in grave danger if this regime remains in power!"
"Stop!" a voice bellowed from the District Five side of the border wall, cutting off Yogev's speech.
