Anti-government protesters sweep the street around the Democracy monument after weeks of protesting and days of clashes with police in Bangkoks city centre December 4, 2013. Thailands government ordered police on Tuesday to stop confronting protesters demanding the resignation of the prime minister, raising hope that days of political violence may end, but the leader of the campaign said the fight would go on. The government said it wanted to avoid more violence and ease the tension for the King Bhumibol Adulyadejs 86th birthday, a traditional day of prayer and celebration.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on December 4,2013, anti-government protesters can be seen sweeping the streets around the Democracy monument in Bangkok's city center. After weeks of relentless protesting and days filled with clashes between demonstrators and police forces, Thailands government finally ordered a halt to confrontations. This decision raised hopes that the recent wave of political violence would come to an end. However, despite this development, the leader of the campaign made it clear that their fight for change would persist. The government's decision was motivated by a desire to prevent further violence and ease tensions on King Bhumibol Adulyadej's 86th birthday - a day traditionally dedicated to prayer and celebration in Thailand. The photograph captures not only the unity among protestors but also showcases their determination as they continue their struggle against governmental policies. Damir Sagolj skillfully captures this moment from an elevated view, providing us with a unique perspective of the scene below. The image highlights both the beauty in nature surrounding these passionate individuals and serves as a reminder of their commitment towards protecting it. The use of shadows adds an atmospheric touch while silhouettes create an air of mystery around these unrecognizable figures fighting for change. With brooms in hand symbolizing cleanliness and renewal, these protestors demonstrate their dedication towards sweeping away corruption and injustice from Thai society. Overall, Damir Sagolj's photograph encapsulates both the intensity and hopefulness present during this period of civil unrest in Thailand.
