  The Eritrean Debacle
The internal factor is the aggressive nationalist and undemocratic nature of the historic EPLF in general and the post-independent ruling clique in particular.
Nevertheless, had it not been for the aggressive and undemocratic nature of the PFDJ ruling clique, the consequences of the war alone could not have been turned in to a total political crisis.
The PFDJ clique must not be allowed to continue evading accountability for destroying Eritrea and spoiling the region at large, by invoking past patriotism or liberation nationalism.

 Correspondents Report - Collapse of Japan's political elite unexpected
And although Japan's ruling clique can hardly been compared to the communist regime in the old East Germany, its collapse was just as unexpected and just as swift.
For the political elite which has ruled Japan through a series of cosy deals for more than three decades seems to be in its final death throes.
It would be the job of the usual ruling faction support network, the farmers' groups, the construction industry groups, to get out the votes in the countryside, as they always had, in return for generous government support.

It is this clique that lives in grand opulence and a lavish lifestyle while the majority of Africans live in abject poverty.
The problem is that the ruling African cliques spend their ill-gotten wealth in the foreign countries in educating their children, shopping-sprees for their wives and daughters, and hording the rest in foreign bank accounts.

 Global March Against Child Labour - From Exploitation to Education
Despite, these kinds of challenges, which the teacher community is facing today, their very existence has become a big question due to dirty design and apathy of the ruling clique, we are fortunate to be associated with teachers and their organisations in our national and international campaigns against the scourge of child labour and illiteracy.
The ruling clique is putting kinds of obstacles and fetters for the realisation of universalisation of education.
The challenge before us has become all the more pronounced because in the present context of knowledge capitalism, the ruling class alliance has solidified to such an extent that it can be described by the word 'fusion' and which with their unified and combined strength is standing against education and educators.

 Nigeriaworld Feature Article - The Conference before the Sovereign National Conference
Today, the present leaders of the ruling clique have, most reluctantly changed gear and posed an alternative to the Sovereign National Conference, which Obasanjo as their spokesman over the years had previously derided as a ploy to dismember Nigeria.
The ruling clique that has emerged in Nigeria in the past forty years of dictatorship is made up of military politicians (of which Obasanjo is the surviving king) and their ever- available civilian collaborators.
The ruling clique, by hook or crook, will ensure that the constitution that will emerge from such a conference will still be anti- people.

On May 18, 2004, marking the 13th Anniversary of Somaliland Independence from Somalia, the mothers fell again to their knees crying and wailing of the illegal arrests of their innocent children who were scooped on the streets of Hargeisa by the police while expressing their grievances in peaceful demonstration.
The indiscriminate firing upon the students by the police in the heart of the capital, Hargeisa, maybe conspiratorial attempt by the Ruling Clique to show the world that Somaliland is as violent as Somalia in order to derail its sovereignty and long-awaited recognition.
The silent delay of prosecution against the killers of the five international aid workers murdered in Somaliland recently created growing suspicion in the public that Riyale`s government itself might be involved in their deaths to derail Somaliland diplomatic recognition and its reputation for stability and peace in the Horn of Afica.

 September 2000: President Vicente Fox is Pledged to Continue Mexico's Subordination to US
In 2000, it became clear that the PRI as the single instrument of bourgeois rule had ceased to be useful.
After July 2 it has been evident that the ruling clique in reality ended up accepting both Fox and Labastida as plants grown in the garden of the dominant neoliberal technocratic clique.
Thus, it can be to the advantage of the ruling group, which remains solid and secure after the arrival of Fox and his team.

 Demarcation Watch
One sure way for the demise of the ruling clique in Addis Ababa has been long understood to be for it to embrace peace within itself, with its people, and with its neighbors, particularly with the State of Eritrea.
Despite the Boundary Commission’s decision that Badme is unconditionally Eritrean territory as ruled in the April 13, 2002 deliberations, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi’s government continues to insist reversal of the Commission’s decision on the boundary between Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Recently, the ruling clique, through its State Minister for Foreign Affairs, Tekeda Alemu, has further reiterated its position that it “would find it difficult to believe that any person in his right mind would put Badme in Eritrea”, an affirmation of noncompliance of the U.N. Security Council’s resolutions by the Ethiopian regime.

 ANALYSIS: Ethiopia-Eritrea border ruling
The fact that this clique has accepted the possible elimination of Ethiopia from existence by legalising secession (whereas no such Constitution exists in the world) should be seen from angle of their long term objective of strengthening Eritrea at the expense of Ethiopia; and if necessary by transforming the latter into an African Yugoslavia.
The problem is that not only those who rule Ethiopia has chosen to be Eritrea’s Trojan Horses but they decided to consider the Eritrean problem as a colonial problem where as the United Nations had always said that it was a problem of secession.
In this regard, one cannot completely rule out the possibility that far-sighted Eritreans would eventually punish both cliques in Asmara and Addis Ababa, which, in their ardent desire to favour Eritrea at the expense of Ethiopia, have wreaked misery and disaster over the two brotherly peoples.

 What next
Apparently, the ruling clique, which seemed to have been living in a bubble of its own, was caught unprepared to face, even with a modicum of statesmanship, the political tsunami that was to come its way by way of election results.
In its wake, the election left a ruling oligarchy that is both stunned and stung by the scale as well as the intensity of the rejection it endured in full-view of the international community, the very community it tries hard to hoodwink and fleece in the name of democracy and good governance.
After all, for the ruling clique the election was meant to produce nothing but an outcome of a unique quality, a win by the EPRDF and an enlarged yet inconsequential representation of the opposition in its rubber stamp parliament.

In "The Silver Lining in Iran," Milani argues, in essence, that the tightening of reactionary forces in Iranian politics is actually a sign that the reigning mullahs are in their death throes.
For Milani, the ruling "cabal of conservative mullahs and Revolutionary Guards who have absconded to ivory towers with their dogma and greed for power" have ignored "serious signs of crisis [as] they masterminded Mr.
The day is already known as Black Saturday, and the president-elect has been scrambling to undo the damage since." As the ruling clique turns to "the old populist slogans of revolutionary justice, economic autarky and pseudosocialism,...

 USA ID card for federal employees and contractors
Therefore, I suggest (and have bored some here to death with it) that we need a written Constitution that ensures that it is the people and only the people that are sovereign and not some ruling clique put in place as party-selected choices by the votes of sometimes less than 15% of the electorate.
This means that once the constitution is in place it can be interpreted only by Judges who are not empowered to change it and changed by the ruling clique only according to the expressed wish of a clear majority of the electorate in plebiscite.
Now, put that in place and much will flow from it, including an absolute requirement for the ruling/governing clique to pay heed to the majority view of the people on many issues upon which the people are to be consulted and asked for their opinion in plebiscite.

 .:: The Management Center - [ management.org.yu ] ::.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Such developments are not due to any pressures that would be exerted by the new government, but rather to a low level of journalistic skills and integrity, where journalists consider it their duty to treat those in power with a greater regard than those in the opposition.
This is combined with the natural resentment that comes from years of being persecuted by the former communist clique, and which  journalists of the independent media are unable to quickly forget and forgive.
While the latter form of diplomatic training may be sufficient as far as the basic rules of protocol and international law are concerned, it suffers from serious in-built defects when the depth of the new diplomats' understanding of international relations is concerned.

 Frustrate the Enemy's Scheme   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
At the same time, a distinction should be made between the peace scheme involving the overthrow of Chiang-- that is, the scheme devised within the reactionary ruling clique-- and the peace demands of the people and the democratic personages, which are different in nature.
If the latter strictly distinguish their demands from the schemes of the former, they will be able to make use of the splits within the reactionary ruling clique and turn them to advantage for progress and victory in the revolution.
Then, once the coup is actually set in motion within the reactionary ruling clique, we will be ready to turn the deceptive slogans of the enemy into action slogans of the masses.

 The Marxist-Leninist Daily
The ruling clique has enlisted the Ontario Superior Court to force a negation of provincial law, which is the legal basis for labour contracts between Stelco and the various steelworker locals.
The only so-called proposals from the Stelco ruling clique and the mass media are to attack the legitimate claims of active and retired steelworkers, destroy the claims of less powerful owners of Stelco share equity and debt, and sell-off and crater Stelco bit-by-bit.
If the Stelco ruling clique is contemplating any criminal wrecking of company assets through closure or other diabolical means and does so, it should face "the full force of the law." Instead "the law" is facilitating the theft of what belongs to the workers by right.
