Politics this week
Oct 20th 2005
From The Economist print edition
Iraq's referendum
A referendum on a new constitution for Iraq probably passed, though final results were expected
later in the week. The Kurds and Shia Arabs voted massively for it; the Sunni Arabs voted against,
but seemed unlikely to get the necessary two-thirds of voters in at least three of Iraq's 18
provinces to say no, which would have nullified the document. A new parliament due to be elected
in December should give the Sunnis a bigger voice, but it remains moot whether that will dampen
the insurgency, which is still fierce in the Sunni areas. See article
The trial of Iraq's former president, Saddam Hussein , began with his
refusal to confirm his identity or acknowledge the court's legality,
though he nonetheless pleaded not guilty to the charge of murdering
148 Shia men in a village in 1982. The case was adjourned until
November 28th. See article
Reuters
After the first round of Liberia's presidential election, a former
football star , George Weah, was ahead of a former finance minister,
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf; a run-off is due on November 8th.
A former president, Milton Obote, who led Uganda to independence from Britain, was given a
state funeral in the capital, Kampala—to the surprise of many Ugandans, since he had been
deposed and forced into exile by the current president, Yoweri Museveni, 20 years ago.
The International Criminal Court at The Hague issued its first arrest warrants—for a Ugandan,
Joseph Kony, and four associates. Their Lord's Resistance Army has committed many atrocities
during a 19-year-long rebellion. See article
The only show in town
America's Senate Judiciary Committee set a date of November 7th to begin confirmation hearings
on Harriet Miers's nomination to the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, politicians and pundits pored
over documents, which Ms Miers submitted ahead of the hearings, to try to establish her position
on abortion.
The United States Treasury said the country's budget deficit for the 2005 fiscal year, which
ended on September 30th, was $319 billion. The vastly improved figure (a deficit of $427 billion
was forecast in February) was explained by a rise in government revenues, though there were
warnings about the imminent costs of the recent hurricanes.
The murder rate in the United States is at its lowest level in 40 years. The Federal Bureau of
Investigation, in its annual report of crime statistics based on police reports, said there were
16,137 murders in 2004, a rate of 5.5 per 100,000 people. See article
