If you read the BBC article today, just the opposite appears to be happening, no unity, except on the streets, against the 'natioanl unity gov't'. The 3 union ministers resigned today, demanding exclusion of the former ruling party hacks. The ruling class, I would argue, is quite divided over what to do. This is why it's a revolutionary situation in part. Secondly, the "Islamists" as they are called there, which were smashed by the Ali government, those in exile, are all flying back today and tomorrow. Expect a wing of the ruling class to look to them to 'restore order'. The NYT piece posted by Louis notes that the middleclass has withdrawn some from the protests...replaced by "more working class" demonstrators.
