Maliki bloc's fraud claim shows hard way out of impasse in Iraqi new gov't formation By Li Laifang, Jamal Ahmed
A latest recount call by the State of Law coalition led by Iraqi sitting Prime Minister Nuri Al- Maliki tells once again that the way out of the country's deadlock in government formation remains hard.
Hachim al-Hassani, spokesman for Maliki's bloc, said Sunday they found manipulation in some 750,000 votes in five provinces. The bloc believed such a large number could substantially change the results. They demanded a recount at least in Baghdad, which has 70 seat ... 集計最新の呼び出しにより、国家の法連立アーメドで李ジャマールLaifang、マリキを主導アルでイラクに座ってマリキ首相の形成指示回デッドロックの政府再度のうちの国の方法をそのために残って難しい
The revolution in Arabic fiction prefigures the Arab spring Over the last decade, a new generation of Arabic novelists has been moving beyond the social realism of their predecessors to reach out to the worldWith over 100 submissions for the 2011 International Prize for Arabic Fiction (IPAF) – popularly, though incorrectly, known as the Arab Booker – fiction in Arabic is clearly flourishing at least numerically. After all, the Man Booker prize, on which IPAF is based, receives a similar number of submissions itself each year. But over the last 10 years, the Arabic novel has made great strides in the variety of themes, styles and literary forms.A generation ago themes were limited. Much Arab literature was based on social realism. If there were historical novels, there were hidden contemporary messages. This reflected the influential 60s generation, when the Arab world was defensive and often confrontational towards the outside world. Writers who came of age in the 1960s often produced outstanding work, but the emerging generation seems not to be held back as their parents were.The Facebook generation has broken down barriers and internationalised cultural reference points. Arab literature is less parochial. In some ways this has reflected the Arab diaspora, and Arab familiarity with Europe and America, through residence, study or visits. Thus the young Saudi writer, Mohammed Hasan Alwan writes a Vancouver novel, or the Iraqi Inam Kachachi writes about an American-Iraqi caught up as a translator for the United States in Iraq.There has also been a breakdown in the straight single-person narrative. The Yemeni writer Nadiah Alkokabani, has used several voices to embroider one short story. The Tunisian author Kamel Riahi, in his novel, The Gorilla, tells a powerful tale with several shifts of perspective.
