Reports today indicate that the government ordered local cable operators not to broadcast Geo TV.

We expect to see the further erosion of President Zardari’s government and his already tenuous grip on the country in the coming days and weeks. We also expect the “establishment” to actively strengthen competing factions within the PPP for the eventual replacement of Zardari (e.g. Atizaz Ahsan) as a means of returning stability to the country.

Expect some movement in Punjab; especially keep an eye on its governor, Salman Taseer.
