-- Pervez Musharraf, President of Pakistan, parting speech to the troops

2007-11-09 In Pakistan, police throw barbed wire around Benazir Bhutto's house to keep her from speaking at a rally to protest Pervez Musharraf's imposition of emergency rule. Security forces round up thousands of her supporters.
2007-11-03 In Pakistan, President Pervez Musharraf imposed emergency rule on the country.

Musharraf decreed a state of emergency (tantamount to martial law), dismissed the Supreme Court, suspended the constitution, arrested some 1,500 politicians, lawyers and human rights activists, closed down all 50 TV channels except the one controlled by the government, imposed self-censorship on the print media, and appointed new Supreme Court judges willing to follow orders.
2007-11-03 Those who support the Taliban and oppose me continue to have high positions in government. Musharraf doesn’t remove them nor has he kept any of the promises he made guaranteed by third parties. Yesterday (before Musharraf’s state of emergency), television channels broadcast a meeting in Bajaur (one of the seven tribal agencies that border Afghanistan) by a mullah claiming that he and his group will kill me in Rawalpindi (where she was scheduled to attend a PPP rally, now banned).
fact that militants hold open meetings without fear of retaliation proves the Musharraf regime is totally inept, unwilling or colluding in their expansion.
Our rapprochement talks with Musharraf have foundered in the quicksand of his failing promises. There is no move toward democracy. It’s either back to dictatorship (1999) or back to a rigged election (2002). Or Musharraf is replaced with a pliant interim government for two years run from behind the scene by the same military hardliners. They claim in 2 years they can push NATO out of Afghanistan and replace president (Hamid) Karzai with one of their own betting that the U.S. will be caught up in presidential elections for one year and it will take another year for the new administration to settle in.
The situation is grim, the risks are high, but I have faith in the people to turn around the problem if we can get a real election.”
-- Benazir Bhutto, in an e-mail
2007-11 In Pakistan, general Ashfaq Parvez Kayani took command of the army.
