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.Hey, I don't wanna. ;') The political parties (other than the pro-theocracy parties, which don't seem to be mentioned in the excerpt, hmm, wonder why?) will fall behind the gov't in order to rub out the Islamic terrorist groups, and of course, the gov't will also continue to rub out the nationalist splinter movements that are here and there. Should be fun to watch (from a safe distance).
