Dictators do not usually die in bed







Dictators do not usually die in bed. Successful retirement is always a problem for them, and not all solve it. It is a problem for everybody else when they leave. What’s to be done afterwards? The popular uprising that overturned the dictatorial Zein el-Abedine Ben Ali regime in Tunisia last week sent a thrill of hope through Arab populations, or at least to Arab democrats.
But aside from the exceptional and complex case of Lebanon, Arab nations have since the demise of the Ottoman Empire mostly suffered from European quasi-empire, exploitative military and party dictatorships, and recently, hereditary family dictatorships, a reversion to absolute monarchy in secular guise. The dream of a united independent Arab nation to replace the Ottomans was destroyed by World War I peace settlements, which left the major Arab peoples in European mandates under the League of Nations.
The deposed Tunisian president Ben Ali spent the first part of his career as a promising young army officer. This led him into intelligence and security, always a highway to success in the contemporary Arab world. He attended courses at Saint-Cyr in France and the American Army Intelligence School at Fort Holabird in Maryland. His 1987 succession to the Tunisian presidency—in the “medical coup” that occurred when Habib Bourguiba, the republic’s founder (in 1957) become president-for-life, was too enfeebled to carry on—was reportedly arranged collaboratively by Italian and Algerian intelligence. The French former colonial power and the CIA reportedly were not involved, although they took a proprietary interest in the regime that followed.
Ben Ali’s economic and educational reforms produced the best educated and most prosperous of the Maghreb states, but with the result that an underemployed and frustrated middle class contributed crucially to his downfall. His wife, a former hairdresser, and her immediate family were generally credited, during the Ben Ali presidency, with a rapacious personal enrichment that played a large part in the ruling family’s popular repudiation. It is a familiar story, with parallels in the business and banking elites of western countries, where enrichment is also prized, but political elites and their second wives are usually more discreet.
At this writing, efforts to construct a transitional Tunisian government are going badly, since the public, having—to their astonishment—got rid of Ben Ali, now seem unwilling to see him replaced either by his former associates or unfamiliar figures from an opposition that mostly has existed in exile.
This, traditionally, is where a would-be Napoleon steps in, although the army in Tunisia has fairly successfully kept its hands clean during the regime’s rise and fall. But next-door Algeria, during its years of military rule, Libya under the grotesque Colonel Qaddafi, and Egypt’s thus-far immovable Hosni Mubarak (with an ambitious son), provide deplorable precedents for Arab elites who want to believe that events in Tunisia are the dawn of a new future. There were seven self-immolations, one by a young woman, in Algeria alone between January 12 and January 19, and others in Egypt and Mauritania, burning themselves to (or near) death in the presumed hope that they might do for their countries what a despairing provincial fruit and vegetable vender, who was trying to support his widowed mother and seven siblings, accomplished in igniting the Tunisian uprising.
And what about Laurent Gbagbo in the Ivory Coast? Former member of the Socialist International, helped into power by French Socialists during the Mitterrand presidency, he contends (or at least his Evangelical Protestant wife contends) that God sent him to rule the Ivory Coast, no matter what internationally-supervised presidential elections last month, the United Nations, the African Union, and various foreign countries have to say about the electoral victory of his longtime rival Alassane Ouattara. His French lawyers want a recount.
He still controls the seat of government in Abidjan and his supporters roam the city. The internationally recognized president is besieged by Gbagbo’s army and volunteers in the luxury Hotel Du Golf, living on by provisions helicoptered in by the UN force in the country, which like the African Union troops to which it is officially allied, excuses itself and backs off when bands of Gbagbo-supporting youths block roads and tell it to go away. One of the French journalists there, who was also in the Balkans in the 1990s, calls the UN troops “expensively useless.”
But if the UN were to go about installing leaders by force in various countries, no matter how just the cause, there would be hell to pay elsewhere, including the United States. Hasn’t the American right been explaining for years that the UN, instigated by liberal elites and the left-wing New York Times, is waiting to send its Black Helicopters to arrest American patriots and install aliens and androids in high Washington office? It could be practicing in Africa. Gbagbo has the support of a solid ethnic bloc of some 45 percent of the electorate, whereas Ouattara, a Muslim with a French wife, is supported by heterogeneous minorities and by foreigners. Gbagbo is playing the nationalist and anti-colonialist cards—he aspires to be president-for-life, while the “international community,” which has cut off the funds that pay his army and civil servants, tries to starve him (and them) out.
He may find cause for reflection in the rash return to the international scene of a former president-for-life, Jean-Claude Duvalier, who journeyed to Haiti to general astonishment on January 16, accompanied by an entourage including a young woman described as his girlfriend. According to an elderly cousin, who visited him at his hotel, after 24 years and 11 months of absence “he was homesick.” The cousin said that “Baby Doc is happy to be here.” At noon the Haitian police called at the hotel and took Baby Doc away, holding the young woman’s hand. When they released him several hours later, there was a crowd to cheer him. Criminal charges reportedly have been filed.

Muammar Gaddafi y su opinión sobre Ben Ali

The Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, has condemned the uprising in neighbouring Tunisia amid reports today of unrest on the streets ofLibya.
In a speech last night Gaddafi, an ally of the ousted president, Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, said he was "pained" by the fall of the Tunisian government. He claimed protesters had been led astray by WikiLeaks disclosures detailing the corruption in Ben Ali's family and his repressive regime.
The leaked cables were written by "ambassadors in order to create chaos", Deutsche Press-Agentur reported Gaddafi as saying.
His remarks came as Tunisian politicians hold talks to form a unity government to help maintain a fragile calm two days after violent protests forced Ben Ali from office.
Tanks were stationed around the capital, Tunis, and soldiers were guarding public buildings, but after a day of drive-by shootings and jailbreaks in which dozens of inmates were killed, residents said they were starting to feel more secure.
"Last night we surrounded our neighbourhood with roadblocks and had teams checking cars. Now we are in the process of lifting the roadblocks and getting life back to normal," said Imed, a resident of the city's Intilaka suburb.
Gaddafi's comments reflect a nervousness among other long-serving Arab leaders that the uprising in Tunisia will embolden anti-government protests elsewhere in the region.
There were reports today, backed up by video evidence, of protests in the Libyan city of al-Bayda, according to the Guardian's Middle Eastspecialist Brian Whitaker, writing on his blog al-bab.com. Protesters clashed with police and attacked government offices, in a demonstration about housing conditions, according to an opposition website.
Whitaker writes: "We can expect to see many more incidents like this over the coming months in various Arab countries. Inspired by the Tunisian uprising, people are going to be more assertive about their grievances and start probing, to see how far they can push the authorities. In the light of Tunisia we can also expect a tendency, each time disturbances happen, to suggest (or hope) that they are the start of some new Arab revolution. The reality, though, is that almost all of them will quickly fizzle out or get crushed."
In Egypt, a human rights activist, Hossam Bahgat, said the protests in Tunisia had encouraged those opposed to the regime of the long-time Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak. "I feel like we are a giant step closer to our own liberation," he said. "What's significant about Tunisia is that literally days ago the regime seemed unshakable, and then eventually democracy prevailed without a single western state lifting a finger."
Writing on Twitter, the Egyptian opposition leader and former chief UN weapons inspector, Mohamed ElBaradei said: "Violence in Tunisia now is a product of decades of repression. Regime in Egypt must understand that peaceful change is only way out."
In his statement, broadcast last night on Libyan TV, Gaddafi said: "Tunisia now lives in fear. Families could be raided and slaughtered in their bedrooms and the citizens in the street killed as if it was the Bolshevik or the American revolution."
"What is this for? To change Zine al-Abidine? Hasn't he told you he would step down after three years? Be patient for three years and your son stays alive," Gaddafi said.
Gaddafi, who has been Libyan leader since 1969, urged Tunisia to adopt Libyan model of government. He said this model "marks the final destination for the peoples' quest for democracy. If this is what the events [in Tunisia] are for, then it has to be made clear".

Ladrones!!





El Gobierno suizo anunció este miércoles que ha decidido bloquear los fondos depositados en bancos del país alpino por el expresidente de Túnez, Zin Abidine Ben Alí, y sus familiares.

El Consejo Federal (gobierno colegiado) lo comunicó este miércoles en una conferencia de prensa en Berna, después de que tras la huida de Ben Ali de Túnez la semana pasada se hubieran multiplicado los llamamientos para dar este paso.

Suiza también ha decidido bloquear los haberes bancarios del presidente saliente de Costa de Marfil, Laurent Gbagbo, quien se niega a abandonar el poder tras haber perdido las elecciones.

Obama y el Presidente de China

Obama después de casi 13 años se reúne con el Presidente de China.







Obama holding first China state dinner in 13 years

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE
The Associated Press
Tuesday, January 18, 2011; 6:38 PM
WASHINGTON -- Feeling snubbed, slighted even, when he visited five years ago, Chinese President Hu Jintao is getting a do-over - plus the White House state dinner he sought back then but was denied.
Wednesday's opulent, black-tie affair with President Barack Obama - the grandest of White House soirees - will mark the first such event in China's honor in 13 years and could help smooth tensions between the world's two largest economies.

Some big questions remain: Who will cook? Who is coming to dinner? Can the White House avoid mistakes like those that marred the reception when a protocol-conscious Hu arrived for an April 2006 summit?

For starters, Hu was unhappy that President George W. Bush opted for lunch over a state dinner.
Bush held few state dinners as president, preferring workmanlike visits with foreign leaders over eating meals in a tuxedo. He also was sensitive to concerns in the U.S. about human rights in China and was reluctant to be seen as going all out for Hu with a state dinner.

But then Hu's pomp-filled welcome on the South Lawn was spoiled when a woman protesting China's treatment of the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement began shouting during his remarks. Bush apologized after he and Hu went into the Oval Office.

Compounding the insult, a White House announcer called China the "Republic of China."

That's the formal name for Taiwan, the democratic island that autocratic China claims as its territory.

Wednesday's affair will return the hospitality that Obama was shown at a state dinner in Beijing on his November 2009 visit.

A personal relationship between the two leaders is important for cooperation on several pressing issues in the time left on both of their terms in office, Asia watchers say. The visit is probably the last to Washington as president for Hu, a hydroelectric engineer who has ruled since 2002. He is expected to relinquish his leadership of the Communist Party next year and the presidency the year after.

"The only way you can move policy is at the very top, and it requires a personal connection," said Victor Cha, director of Asian affairs on Bush's National Security Council and currently a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "Maybe this visit will be an opportunity to create some of that."

Hu is getting plenty of face time with Obama, including a second dinner Tuesday night after he arrives in Washington. The more intimate meal, closed to media coverage, also will include Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, national security adviserTom Donilon and Hu aides.
Wednesday's schedule calls for a formal arrival ceremony on the South Lawn, a one-on-one meeting between Obama and Hu, an expanded meeting between them that includes aides, a news conference and, finally, dinner.

It will be Obama's third state dinner. He held dinners for India in 2009 and Mexico last year.
For each dinner, Mrs. Obama - who is responsible for planning them with the White House social secretary - recruited a guest chef to help prepare the meal. But there was no word yet on who might cook for Hu.

In keeping with its usual practice, the White House held tight to details about the menu, the decor, where dinner will be served and what Mrs. Obama will wear until hours before the event begins.
But some tidbits began trickling out Tuesday.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has declined to attend, according to his spokesman and White 

House press secretary Robert Gibbs. Members of the congressional leadership from both parties were invited, Gibbs said.

Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck noted Hu's plans to visit Congress the next day. His boss didn't attend the India and Mexico dinners either.

"The speaker is looking forward to his meeting with President Hu on Thursday, which he believes will be a productive setting for substantive discussions," Buck said.

The White House seemed miffed by Boehner's decision.

"We have invited . leaders from both parties, and we hoped that because of the importance of the (U.S.-China) relationship that they would attend," Gibbs said Tuesday.

Two other top congressional leaders, Sens. Harry Reid, R-Nev., and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., will also be absent. Both are traveling, their offices said.

Actor Jackie Chan is confirmed.

President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton welcomed President Jiang Zemin and his wife, Madame Wang Yeping, in October 1997, serving chilled lobster in tarragon sauce, pepper-crusted Oregon beef and whipped Yukon Gold potatoes to more than 230 guests seated elbow-to-elbow in the East Room.

Dinner tickets were highly sought and the lucky holders pointed to one of Clinton's chief aims: access to China's consumer market of more than 1 billion people. The guest list included chief executives from Xerox, PepsiCo, Walt Disney Co. and General Motors Corp.

The National Symphony Orchestra provided after-dinner entertainment, including the American classics "An American in Paris" by George Gershwin and "Stars and Stripes Forever" by John Philip Sousa.
White House officials suggested at the time that Jiang might be tempted to get up on stage. At a dinner the year before in the Philippines, he surprised his host by singing "Love Me Tender" and "Swanee River."

Could Hu succumb to similar temptation? He is said to have been a skilled ballroom dancer in college.

Steve Jobs : luchando con su cáncer de pancreas






Seve Jobs y la mazanita de Apple
A unos días de iniciar el MacWorld, el evento anual de Apple en donde se presentan las novedades de la marca, Steve Jobs ha anunciado su retiro momentáneo de la empresa, por motivos de salud.
En su lugar, se quedará de forma momentánea Tim Cook, quien seguramente será el que presente la nueva iPad y la versión 5 del iPhone, que se esperan para la última semana de enero.
No es la primera vez que se retira. Años antes se ausentó también por motivos de salud, para recibir un transplante de hígado y reapareció hasta el 9 de septiembre del 2009, en
un evento de prensa, luciendo sumamente delgado.
En esta ocasión Jobs explicó los motivos de ausencia a través de una carta dirigida a sus empleados, Aquí un extracto de la misma:
“Equipo:
Por mi petición, el consejo directive de la empresa me ha concedido un periodo de ausencia por motivos de salud, para que así pueda cuidar mi salud. Continuaré siendo el CEO de la firma y seguiré involucrado en las decisiones estratégicas de la compañía.
Le he pedido a Tim Cook que se haga responsable de todas las operaciones de Apple del día. Le tengo mucha confianza y el resto de los ejecutivos de la firma confían en su trabajo. Él dará seguimiento a todos los planes que tenemos para el 2011.
Amo a Apple y espero regresar tan pronto como pueda. Por lo pronto, mi familia y yo les pedimos que respeten nuestra privacidad.
Steve”

WIKILEAKS está ahora activo con las cuentas cifradas en Suiza






Un Banquero Suizo le dio al fundador de Wikileaks un CD con todas las cuentas bancarias cifradas en Suiza de personajes y político famosos. Ese banquero, que nunca ha estado de acuerdo con el misterio de las cuentas cifradas después de trabajar durante años en el Departamento de Operaciones de uno de los excelentes bancos en Isla Caimán decidió realizar ese traspaso de datos.


El banquero suizo Rudolf Elmer entregó los dos discos compactos al fundador de WikiLeaks.

El fundador del portal WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, en libertad condicional a raíz de su proceso de extradición a Suecia, recibió de manos del banquero suizo dos discos compactos con los detalles de las cuentas bancarias de 2.000 personalidades ricas y famosas sospechosas de evasión fiscal. 
En una rueda de prensa en Londres, Rudolf Elmer entregó los discos a Assange antes de volver a Suiza, donde será sometido a juicio acusado de robar información de un banco.
Si bien no dio nombres, Elmer afirmó que los discos compactos tienen información de unos cuarenta políticos y que los titulares de las cuentas proceden de "todas partes" del mundo. 
Elmer, ex ejecutivo del Julius Baer Bank, uno de los principales bancos de Suiza, dijo que quería dar a conocer la información para educar a la sociedad. 
"Yo creo como banquero que tengo el derecho de plantarme si hay algo que está mal", resaltó el banquero. 
"Estoy en contra del sistema. Sé como funciona el sistema y conozco el día a día del negocio. Desde ese punto de vista, quería hacer saber a la sociedad lo que yo sé", puntualizó. 
El fundador del portal dijo que los nombres de los titulares de las cuentas bancarias serán publicados en la web de WikiLeaks en dos semanas, una vez verificados todos los datos y que puede facilitar parte de los datos a la oficina contra el fraude en el Reino Unido. 
Está claro que Elmer es un "denunciante de buena fe", por lo que "tengo el deber de apoyarle en esto", agregó Assange. 
"Elmer ha venido luchando en este caso durante cinco años para, de una forma u otra, llamar la atención sobre estos datos. Está claro que tiene algo muy importante que decir sobre esto", afirmó el periodista, que dijo que su portal apenas ha divulgado un 2,3 por ciento de los 250.000 cables diplomáticos de EE. UU. pero que trabaja para divulgar más material.
El director de WikiLeaks cumple una libertad bajo fianza y condicional a raíz de una solicitud de extradición solicitada el mes pasado por Suecia, país que le quiere interrogar por supuestos delitos de agresión sexual cometidos el pasado agosto en ese país. 
Elmer fue despedido del Julius Baer Bank en el año 2002 después de trabajar ocho años como jefe de operaciones de la institución bancaria en las islas Caimán.
