It means they don’t go at each other’s throat and collaborate to save the country

No way. Release the innocent and lockup the criminals first.

Na political ceasefire is somewhat of a blank cheque to the government. Support any and all efforts to resolve present crisis

Don't talk crap! You are playing into the hands of this bunch of incompetent idiots who will take your help while tearing the opposition to shreds. If you go along with them they will eventually turn on you as things get worse and they have no answers. We need an opposition with a spine.
