U zemlji gdje vojska historijski igra dominantnu ulogu, uključujući i rušenje četiri vlade, odluka generala da podnesu ostavke radije nego da se usprotive vladi s kojom se često ne slažu signalizira važne promjene u odnosima između civilnih i vojnih krugova.
In a country where the military has historically played a dominant role, including the toppling of four governments, the general's decision to step aside rather than confront a government they have often been at odds with signals important changes to civil-military relations.
