I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. These elements will have to be dealt with force along with isolating them from general public support (socioeconomic measure in effected areas).
What I am trying to say is the people in control have proven to be incompetent. And you can’t win with a incompetent team. So now what is the logical sequence?
Just to add, as pointed out earlier, there is a benefactor that may force the right actions in the coming days. Other than this team is a failure.
