The synergy between the Defence Council's request and MPs' endorsement showcases a coordinated response to the prevailing crisis. By officially ratifying the deployment, the government signals a unified front in dealing with societal challenges and ensuring the protection of citizens.

In conclusion, the approved deployment of the KDF is a strategic move to combat the unrest effectively and restore order in the face of escalating protests.
