Amid wide protests, the electoral defeat of pro-Musharraf parties, and impending impeachment charges from the ruling opposition, President Musharraf has officially resigned. Al Jazeera takes a brief look back at his turbulent career.
Though Pakistan was a military dictatorship under Musharraf, the majority of Pakistanis have expressed some concern that more radical elements may now attempt to fill the power vacuum. If such a movement does arise, civil war is a possibility.
