I mean usually the government doesn't basically invite the rebels in, unless they are loyal to the old guy, and want him back in power.

Yeah, it was less “rebels staging a coup and imposing a junta” and more “Napoleon returning from exile with ease, because the government never bothered to remove his loyalists from positions of authority.”

Bingo. You said what I was thinking, in a much more eloquent way!

I think that's going to be a much more accurate assessment of this coming election than anything else.
