I'm going to give this a try, and maybe my Global Affairs colleague would also like to.
Again, this happened over the weekend. Nobody was really expecting this. We are watching it. As I said, initial signs are very promising. You didn't see massacres as they started taking retaliation against regime forces. We're seeing heart-rending things about the prisons, etc. That's all ongoing right now, but initial signs are very positive.
That being said, is there any tradition of democracy in that country? I'm not a historian in that sense. However, initial signs are looking good.
I'll throw it over to my friend here.
