The nonviolent resisters are not naive enough to expect that such an ultimatum will often lead to capitulation of the opponents. The opponents are likely to see such a communication as an unjustified challenge to their authority and highly improper behaviour for people of a subordinate position. The opponents may therefore become angry, they may break off negotiations in progress, they may totally ignore the communication, or they may say it should have been directed to some subordinate officials. Or, the opponents may coldly acknowledge receipt of the ultimatum. If so, the time has come for action. - Gene Sharp 2013, the father of nonviolent struggle The war just began. There are no reason to cowardly back off right at the beginning. Let the struggle goes. The one who is more FAITHFUL, more DISCIPLINED, more PEACEFUL is gonna be the WINNER.
