"Freedom does not arrive without struggle. You must seize it. In a speech that was posted on YouTube Saturday night, he remarked, "You have to make sacrifices for it.He urged his supporters to hold demonstrations "at the end of your streets and villages" throughout the nation on Sunday and declared he would resume his pitch for quick elections on Wednesday.
