I'm sure some of the protesters had legitimate issues, we all do with our own governments, but this was a coup and you have to wonder what the purpose of it was when all they had to do was wait for elections if the population was so opposed to the government. They would have had their way, wouldn't they? Or maybe not, maybe they feared that a majority of the people were not as opposed as they wanted the world to believe.
I have doubts that any government which is a result of an undermining of the Democratic Process will be much better than the one they overthrew for vast numbers of people. They rarely are. What has resulted from all this is to make a mockery of the Democratic Process. The country is now destabilized as a democracy.
