Its so sad, the man excepted this administration to be like all the other ones.
However this administration
1) Dint play the tribal card early , earning the respect of a lot of people
2) Wasn't corrupt so has the international funds/money behind it
3) clear change of command/process so its hard to attack it as its one singulat unit
4) first 3 steps earned it the good will of the people and the Intellectuals of the country
5)but more importantly the Intellectuals of the states ! This combined with support from Government (money/influance ) means the states not only underestimated but never had a chance.
