        It says “killers” “four people” “return blood debt” “people must win”

        There is no context whatsoever here. Do you even know that the “protests” were in favor of Deng against the other candidate?

          I can’t challenge the translation and if context is needed I can only speculate what it could be (the “rumors” you chastised the author for using?), which is no good for either of us.

          I’m new to this, all I know about Deng’s involvement is his orders to the army. I’ve also already had like 3 long articles pointed at me, I’ll probably work on those before whatever youre trying to point out now.

            iirc deng was not in power yet and there was an upcoming election between him and a CIA funded opponent. The protestors were actually in favor of Deng, I think, which makes sense if you think about it. Glad I could help you look for more. I think dessalines had a github page with some links, I’m looking for it now.
