Since 1999, when Musharraf seized power in a bloodless coup—he is still Commander-in-Chief of the Army—promising to bring "true" democracy, law and order, and economic revival, Islamabad has been unusually quiet, even by its own somnolent standards; indeed, across the country the government has faced surprisingly little opposition.

If the opposition deplored the "absence of a framework to sustain economic growth", you might take it with a pinch of salt.

如果是反对派指责他们"缺少使经济持续增长的框架计划"，你可能觉得是落井下石；但这番话恰恰来自财政经济大臣大田弘子。

Years of government thuggery against opposition supporters mean there is no trust left between Mr Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change and Mr Mugabe's henchmen.
