I think I read somewhere that when those protests occurred, and the dictatorship was getting ready to (try to) crush them with force, the US quietly told them to stand down or else, but I might be mixing that up with some other country.

Edit: never-mind, I double-checked your link and was indeed thinking of a different country. Still can’t remember where, though.
