Musharraf has announced that he will quit his army post by the end of November. This is big news in a way but also quite predictable, given the pressure the US is putting on him. The question now is whether the protest movement can sustain momentum and continue working towards a genuinely progressive society. One of the concerns among activists has been that if we restrict our demands to ending of martial law/emergency, the government might actually meet the condition and then we'd be adrift. So when this happens, I think we have to be mindful to keep our eyes on the bigger prize.
