ISIS wants to kill, the National Guard wants to negotiate, the Defense Forces want to take out ISIS, but they are worried about triggering a civil war.
From beginning to end, ISIS is just a pawn for General Ben Abdullah within Shah to pressure the Crown Prince!
The National Guard absolutely cannot harm Amina, because once they act, it gives the Crown Prince a legitimate reason to purge them.
They just want to stall for time. The faster ISIS terrorists progress, the greater the pressure on the Crown Prince, and the higher the chances of successful negotiation between both sides!
The Defense Forces cannot act first, because once they do, it means the Crown Prince is initiating a civil war.
This will cause significant turmoil in the already unstable internal political system of Shah, giving new ideas to those who were merely observing.
The Defense Forces are also waiting for PB people to rush in and rescue Princess Amina.
