Keep in mind....this is Pakistan..
The situation will probably end in one of 3 ways:
1. The Government will hold back until the enemy tunnels out and away. (Possible but not likely)
2. The Government will back off and offer a sweet deal if the enemy simply comes out and promises to play “nice nice”... (Most likely)
3. The Government will kill them all. (Least likely)
A quick thumbnail sketch of Pakistan
A Civil War No One Wants (Pakistan)

Pakistan is facing a civil war between the military (representing about ten percent of the population), the Islamic militants (about 30 percent) and the secular political parties (60 percent). The military groups are the most disciplined, and are well funded by a military business empire (an outgrowth of military foundations established to provide pensions and such for veterans). The Islamic militants are the most poor and ill educated, with most of their supporters in the tribal areas. The political parties are crippled by partisanship and corruption, but are currently more united and focused by a desire to avoid a religious dictatorship, or a military one. The Islamic militants are trying to use terror to take over. The political parties use large demonstrations and strikes. The military has police and troops. No one wants a civil war, but everyone wants to run the country.
