Students Protest Government’s Response to Global Conflicts

Ḱirst́a-Marâ Labi

Tamara - A coalition of students from four Agausian universities—Žanžǵava University, Agausian University Tamara, Abašiže University, and Agausian University Moedani—has formed a cohesive student political union. This organization, known as Students Stand Against Violence (SǴŽT), defines itself as radically antiwar. United in their cause, they have been vocal advocates for the cessation of all conflicts, with particular emphasis on addressing the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Israel.

"The government's approach to international affairs lacks a commitment to peaceful resolutions," stated Ruslaneḱ Donomarevaže, newly elected Student Union President. "It's imperative for Agausia to advocate for diplomatic solutions and prioritize peace over perpetuating violence."

The SǴŽT strategically timed their formation to coincide with the approaching two-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Leading this initiative is Ruslaneḱ Donomarevaže, a grad student at Agausian University Moedani and the newly elected Student Union President. Donomarevaže also revealed plans for a protest scheduled for Saturday, where the student union intends to exert pressure on the government to adopt a firm stance against all aggressors.

Agausian university students, as well as young Agausians in general, are deeply concerned about regional stability, particularly due to Agausia's conscription laws. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has presented significant challenges to both the safety and economic stability of Agausians. This has sparked increased interest and involvement from the younger generation in addressing these pressing issues.

"The war's impact extends beyond mere political concerns. It has directly affected students' daily lives, hindering their ability to work, travel, and pursue educational opportunities abroad," Donomarevaže told reporters. "As a result, many young Agausians feel compelled to take action and seek solutions to mitigate the adverse effects of the conflict on their futures."

In response to these growing concerns, Students Stand Against Violence (SǴŽT) has been actively engaging with students across Agausia to raise awareness and advocate for peace. Through a series of educational campaigns, peaceful demonstrations, and dialogues with government officials, the SǴŽT aims to create a safer and more stable future for all Agausians.

While the organization appears to be gaining traction and attracting a significant number of members, it is not without its critics. Salome Šengelâ, the Rector of Agausian University Moedani, has emerged as an early opponent of the group. In a phone interview, Šengelâ expressed strong opposition stating, “Should Ukranian men hand over their land? Should Israeli soldiers sentence their own children to death?” She asserted her willingness to utilize her authority to disband the group should they disrupt the peace or interfere with the academic pursuits of students.
