The embattled president of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf, has announced his resignation in the face of impeachment proceedings.
No doubt he will be off to enjoy retirement in some luxury on an island somewhere. However, the country he leaves is unlikely to be so lucky. The new government coalition is fragile and fractious, not to mention full of corruption. No doubt the army is considering its future role - and the Islamic fundamentalists that infest the security services.
Musharraf has been bleeding power for some time. Now he is going, what is the future for Pakistan?
