Politics this week
Nov 24th 2005
From The Economist print edition
Sharon moves forward
Ariel Sharon,
Israel's
prime minister, broke away from his ruling Likud party to found the Kadima
(“Forward”) party, prompting a general election, in March. He probably nursed hopes of teaming
up with the Labour Party in a new governing coalition.

A gathering of
Iraqis
in Cairo, including Iraq's president and representatives of the disaffected
Sunni Arab community, called for Arabs in the region to support Iraq's emerging new order but
also demanded a timetable for American troops to go.
See article
Two weeks after the bombing of three hotels in Amman,
Jordan's
capital, King Abdullah named
Marouf Bakheet, his country's security chief, as the new prime minister.
During the second of three rounds of voting in a general election in
Egypt
, widespread clashes
between supporters of the ruling party and the officially unrecognised Muslim Brotherhood left one
person dead and scores injured.
Kenyans
rejected a new constitution put to a referendum by President Mwai Kibaki. The 57-43%
vote reflected tribal divisions, with Mr Kibaki's Kikuyu, Kenya's biggest group, saying yes and most
of the other main tribes saying no.

Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf was officially declared the winner of
Liberia's
presidential election, and will become Africa's first elected female
head of state.

Deepening divisions
Both George Bush and Dick Cheney distanced themselves from
comments made by some Republicans last week accusing
John
Murtha
, a Democratic congressional hawk and Vietnam veteran, of
being unpatriotic for changing his stance on Iraq by calling for the
withdrawal of troops. The accusations caused uproar in Congress and
added fire to the political storm about the war.
See article
The Justice Department indicted
José Padilla
, an American citizen who has been held without
charge for three years as a suspected enemy combatant. The indictment alleges that Mr Padilla
was involved in terrorist funding and financing, but no mention was made of the alleged “dirty
bomb” plot for which he was originally held.
Patrick Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor investigating the leaking of a
CIA officer's
name to the
press, said he would present new evidence to a second grand jury (the first grand jury brought
charges against Mr Cheney's chief of staff). This comes shortly after Mr Fitzgerald questioned Bob
Woodward, one of America's best-known journalists, about his recollection of events.
Sins of the past
The geriatric former Chilean dictator,
Augusto Pinochet
, was placed under house arrest after
being charged with tax evasion, passport fraud and use of forged government documents. The
charges relate to $27m allegedly hidden in secret overseas bank accounts under false names.
A Canadian government-commissioned report on the 1985 bombing of an
Air India flight
from
Toronto to Dehli that killed 329 people off the Irish coast called for a further public inquiry into the
incident, which remains unsolved. The acquittal in March of two Sikh activists accused of
organising the attack caused a public uproar after it transpired that vital evidence had been
destroyed by Canada's intelligence services.
At least 34 people were killed in Honduras after
Tropical Storm Gamma
hit Central America last
weekend. More are feared buried under mudslides in remote regions. Gamma is the 24th Atlantic
storm this season—the busiest on record. Last month, Hurricane Stan killed up to 2,000 in Central
America.
Arriving hordes
Reuters
George Bush became the first American president to visit
Mongolia,
stopping briefly in the vast country and marking the end of his week-
long Asian tour. Surrounded by men dressed in Ghengis Khan-style
uniforms, Mr Bush thanked Mongolia for sending some 100 troops to
Iraq, and also asked after the health of a horse given to his defence
secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, on his recent visit there.
Maoist rebels and seven democratic parties in
Nepal
made a deal to
work to end the absolute rule of King Gyanendra and introduce
democracy. The king seized power in February, saying Nepal's
politicians were unable to end the rebels' bloody insurgency.

Businesses and schools closed in the city of Harbin, in
China,
when officials admitted that the
water supply had been poisoned by benzene after an explosion at a petrochemical plant higher up
the Songhua river, which supplies the city's 3m people.
Japan's
ruling Liberal Democratic Party drafted a change to the country's constitution that allows
Japanese troops to play a wider role in global peacekeeping operations. The document was
formally presented to a convention marking the 50th anniversary of the party's founding.
A German first
Angela Merkel
was sworn in as Germany's first female chancellor and promptly made quick visits
to Paris, Brussels and London to stress her European credentials. She also reiterated her desire to
mend relations with America, which became somewhat strained under her predecessor, Gerhard
Schröder.
Russia's
Duma backed a draft law that curbs the activities of foreign NGOs. Pro-democracy and
