If the Sunnis boycott that's their problem. Who ever heard of a group boycotting an election invalidating its legitimacy? I can think of a lot of people I would like to boycott our next election!
Dear Sunnis: There is still time to vote and participate in your country's governance. You can't scream "marginalization" when you had your chance.....
I agree. It is like the confederates in the US civil war starting the war and then stating all elections across the country (in 1864 and during reconstruction) were illegitimate until they violence stopped. The Sunnis have some nerve ... they are complaining they will not participate until the violence stops, and they are the ones causing the violence.
