Щедрый поступок, который также может иметь политическое значение

Азербайджан - это страна, где политика часто идет необычным путем и где маленькие жесты часто имеют важное значение.

В субботу (15 июня) было объявлено, что первый вице-президент и первая леди Азербайджана Мехрибан Алиева выразила соболезнование в связи с кончиной вдовы бывшего президента Азербайджана Абдулфаза Эльчебея, погибшего в Стамбуле 14 июня. Азербайджанские СМИ также сообщили, что расходы на похороны будет нести Фонд Гейдара Алиева, который возглавляет первый вице-президент.

Этот скромный акт великодушия имеет политическое значение, особенно в тот день, когда официальный Баку празднует День национального спасения, и это тот момент, когда покойный Гейдар Алиев вернулся в национальную политику, вскоре после этого он заменил Эльчебея в качестве президент страны. С тех пор официальное повествование в Баку, не без какого-либо оправдания, гласит, что Гейдар Алиев - тесть Мехрибан Алиевой и отец нынешнего президента Ильхама Алиева - спас страну от катастрофы после короткого, но бурного президентства Эльчебея.

В то время как некоторые отвергают жест Мехрибан ханум Алиевой как гипократию, другие видят в этом еще один маленький шаг в процессе национального примирения, поскольку правительство пытается исцелить некоторые глубокие политические разногласия в стране.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
