#1 Can't put the insurrection in the south to bed, so what gives them the belief that they can avoid lighting another one up north? The government that came to power by military coup to remove the elected President, no matter how corrupt [though probably no less than we can find in Chicago or Congress and elsewhere], has no intentions of surrendering power. There will be no real reforms or real elections. The issues will continue and now they've removed the cultural barrier of violence, as amply demonstrated by the earlier assassination of an opposition leader, this will simply spread. No good for anyone. However, it's history and human behavior. It's the scorpion and frog. It's in its nature.
