From what I’ve seen, there seems to be several waves of the people electing a popular prime minister, then the elites of the country overthrowing that prime minister and declaring an “emergency” for a while to put a government more friendly to elites in power until there is pressure for new elections. Then, the cycle continues.
It is a continuation of the Red Shirt/Yellow Shirt fighting.
