Standard Notes
| 31.12.2012 | The Turks and Caicos Islands |
| This note briefly reviews the crisis of political and economic governance which has affected the Turks and Caicos Islands since 2008. A period of direct rule came to an end when fresh elections were held in November 2012. Only time will tell whether the Turks and Caicos Islands are now set on a new course - and, if so, what that course is. |
| 13.09.2012 | In brief: Somalia - a new beginning or another false dawn? |
| Somalia's 'transitional period' finally came to an end in August. The election of Hassan Sheikh Mohamud as president on 10 September is being widely greeted as the start of a new era for the country, but huge challenges remain to be addressed. This note briefly surveys Somalia's prospects at this crucial moment. |
| 02.08.2012 | Arab uprisings: an update |
| Two of the three countries that have had elections since the Arab uprisings - Tunisia and Egypt - have seen mainstream and more radical Islamists dominating. In Libya, the third of the three, a pragmatic and relatively secular politician who had been former Prime Minister during the rebellion did well. It is still early to know what these new governments will do. |
| 18.07.2012 | Libya's General Assembly election 2012 |
| On 7 July 2012, Libya held its first democratic election since 1964. Preliminary results suggest that the former interim Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril won a landslide victory among seats reserved for party candidates. However, this should not yet be interpreted as a victory for liberals over Islamists. 120 of the 200 seats are reserved for independents and their politics are not yet clear. Mahmoud Jibril has denied that he is a secularist. Nevertheless, it is very different from election results in Egypt and Tunisia, where the parties associated with the Muslim Brotherhood did well. |
| 23.05.2012 | Egypt's presidential election 2012 |
| Egyptians vote on 23 and 24 May to elect a new president. If no candidate wins 50%, a second round will be held on 16 and 17 June. There are signs, however, of a looming crisis over the division of power and the role of the military. |
