Blogger's note:  Recently I was informed that the IMF, and the World Bank offered to assist with  large cash infusions to Belarus.  However it would be contingent on a massive lock down, and other restrictions.  Lukashenko refused to lock his country down, so he has angered today's Money changers of the temple.  The other factor is to get a NATO friendly regime in place so that they are closer to the Russian border.
Unfortunately there are many useful idiots in the protest.
