Like the expansion and specialization of FiCom, we approve of the general changes in Mahan’s proposed reform, especially the integration of the Concert Commission. But we caution the council to consider the possible pitfalls of adding student group representatives to the CLC.

Some analysts believe that unidentified Islamic separatists, inspired by the global jihad, are exploiting this anger to launch attacks against the state. Others caution that the south has long been a violent place, with the police, military, gangsters and politicians fighting turf wars with one another over the black-market trade in gasoline, guns, narcotics and other contraband...
