I guess this article is either written for insiders who already know what is happening or for people who want to dig into press reports before they understand the narrative.

I’m afraid I am not one of the former, nor do I feel inclined to become one of the latter.

I tried in vain to establish a narrative from this piece, to understand the basic facts of what is going on, but I failed to do so.

Just a tip, it might be a good idea when writing about something people are not likely to know about already, to provide a basic rundown before diving into complex issues.
