Kasbah square, where the Cabinet building is located, became an epicenter of sit-ins and protests, which sought to overthrow the so hated former ruling party (now dissolved), the RCD (from its French acronym Le Rassemblement Constitutionnel Démocratique, Constitutional Democratic Rally in English), which was associated with corruption and oppression. 
Kasbah square,lilipo jengo la Baraza la Mawaziri, likawa shabaha ya waandamanaji na wale wengine waliokuwa wamekaa, ambayo ilitafuta namna ya kukiangusha chama tawala cha kilichokuwa kimechukiwa sana (sasa kimesambaratishwa), RDC (yaani kwa vifupisho vya Kifaransa Le Rassemblement Constitutionnel Démocratique, kwa Kiswahili Mkutano wa Kikatiba na Kidemokrasia), ambacho kilihusishwa na ufisadi na unyanyasaji.
