Berdymukhamedov fishing

Because all signaling on matters of national importance must necessarily come from the president in person, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov was obliged to break off his lengthy holiday for another bout of state television theatrics. This time, he was shown fishing at an undisclosed location, decked out in camouflage gear, including gloves, bucket hat and facemask. It was not just enough to set the example, though. Berdymukhamedov was then seen reeling in a pair of suspiciously compliant fish, which were dispatched to a summer camp of grateful children, who scrutinized the haul and clapped with joy. The report ended with images of several dozen children in one room, tucking into the cooked fish, thereby engaging in the exact kind of mustering that health authorities around the world have expressly advised against.
