Like some disgruntled divorcée insisting upon her ex to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Ain't that funny? Same way, the July 22 Revolution was overtaken by the Democratic Revolution of December 2016. If for democratic reasons we cannot celebrate the anniversary of that political divorce, celebrating the ex-union is open disrespect, willful disobedience and a show of disdain for the will of the people.
Really, when they say a democratic government is one in which the populace is so free that they're feared by powers that be, the fear is metaphorical. It's about the government recognising their own boundaries beyond which they'll oppress, respecting the rights and powers of the populace, and treating them as worthy of it. But that doesn't mean that the populace can go about terrorising the state and its administration in the name of democracy.
Wait, even if the AFPRC was a kind of causation by which the APRC was born, even with the same DNA, politically, the entities were different. One was a council of a military dictatorship and the other (as was supposed) a democracy. So, just like the party cannot be credited for July 22nd 1994, hijacking the rest of the junta's to celebrate the day as APRC's rather than some day in 1996 when the party was formed was an anomaly, perhaps just condoned against the will that we now have.
