People were sad because money was not worth much. Many people had no jobs. Now, people are speaking against the top leader. Some people like the former king's son. This means people are not happy about money only. They are also unhappy with the government.

Police used real bullets and gas. They also stopped the internet. This was to stop people talking. It was also to hide what was happening.

Many people are hurt or dead. A news group said 495 protesters died. Also, 48 police people died. Many people were arrested. This shows the government wants to stop people.
