The government is calling people to streets against the coup and the army says stay down state of emergency.

It's horrible. what are they going to do? Bring army and people face to face?

I will stay at home of course. I'm not in the city anyway.

I don't think this is going to go anywhere. I am just scared what will happen afterwards.

From everything I've seen, his demand for the people to take to the streets in protest has been largely ignored.
And on the wings of a dream so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation now the time has come
Lost inside you\'ll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

Shit. I am so glad you checked in. I can't even fathom the fear and anxiety you must be feeling.

It looks like the coup is successful? According to Reuters, the president has already beat feet to Germany to seek asylum.

What a world.

funny cause the pro erdogan people are getting all riled up and some seem to be celebrating since they seem to be taking over the Istanbul (or is it ankara?) central plaza without much military resistance. But erdogan seems to be hiding and running. Really difficult to understand what is truly going on.

I hope someone wins very quickly. If this drags on people are doing to die. Lots of them.

I can't see how it is successful. Though it is declared from the state channel. I have no idea.

The street the feed shows is a very central street in Istanbul. Vatan Street. Not from the capital.

I have no idea what is going on. Army withdrew of course. What are they going to do? Fire at civilians?!

Or worse. Civil war. Well in any case that's^ what will happen.
