2553 Martian food protests

The 2553 Martian food protests were a series of civil uprisings that took place on post-.

As its name implies, the protests began with modest, metropolitan protests over severe food scarcities. The situation erupted out of the battered control after a riot originating in the Capital Grounds erupted into a firefight between rebel sympathizers and UNSC-aligned security guards. The tenacity of the protests have often been linked to the 2554 Mid-Rim Protests, which were notably more widespread.
