Musharraf bids farewell to troops
November 27, 2007
There has been intense pressure on Musharraf from the international community to take off his uniform but his decision to quit as army chief may not be enough to placate Pakistani opposition leaders like former premier Nawaz Sharif, who vowed to end dictatorship after his return from seven years in exile.
The Supreme Court, comprising Musharraf's hand-picked judges, last week validated his victory in the October 6 presidential poll after dismissing legal challenges to his candidature. This cleared the way for him to be sworn in for a second presidential term.
