On 18 August at 15:20, Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) posted video captioned as scenes from farmers' demonstrations outside the Finance Ministry protesting delayed payment of their dues, and an attempt to disperse them by force. Visual review of the video shows a daytime crowd of men in traditional dress, a speaker at a microphone, a red flag, and smoke visible in later frames as people react; the location and the identity of any force present cannot be established from the frames. The caption is the only source for the dispersal attempt.
