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.
U zemlji u kojoj je vojska istorijski igrala dominantnu ulogu, uključujući rušenje četiri vlade, odluka generala da podnesu ostavke, umesto da se suprotstave vladi sa kojom su često bili u sporu, signalizira značajne promene u civilno-vojnim odnosima.
