Political Trend
Muyeedul Hasan writes:
On the surface, the progress towards ending authoritarian political order appears to be slow, sometimes halting. But, in my view, there has been some real progress, which may continue till the general election, and perhaps beyond. The substance of authority, both de jure and de facto, of the top political leadership, stopped functioning since January ‘07, their images now are in peril, the overt apparatus of their goons are severely damaged, their covert support base within the administration badly disarrayed, and their money machines seriously disrupted.
