News and current affairs

The deaths of Yasir Arafat and of Sheikh Zayd, the long-standing ruler of the United Arab Emirates, continues the generational change that began in 1999-2000, when the leaders of Jordan, Morocco, Bahrain, and Syria died in quick succession.

More recently, with the death last December of the Emir, Sheikh Jabir al-Ahmad, parliamentary approval was exercised a key role in resolving succession debates among factions of the royal family.

The death of Kuwait's ruler, Sheikh Jaber al-Sabah, on January 15, 2006, was followed by unprecedented national disquiet, which led to the rapid abdication of his designated successor, Saad Al Sabah.

However, with Sheikh Jaber al-Sabah's death, the succession was not only subjected to feverish public debate, but the Kuwaiti press and Parliament were key actors in determining the outcome.

Elections with universal suffrage, combined with a relatively free press, meant that the succession became a public issue, debated in the media and by academics for months as Sheikh Jaber was dying.

But several armed formations, such as Ansar al-Shariah and the Imprisoned Sheikh Omar Abd al-Rahman Brigades, still reject the transition to party politics and integration into state institutions.

One of the Muslim Brothers' Web sites includes such a statement, and Libya's Grand Mufti, Sheikh Sadeq al-Gheriani, also condemned the attack.

The latest Sharm el-Sheikh summit is also a message to the Saudis: Cairo, not Mecca, is the center of Middle East politics.

Last July, on another national holiday, they hit three tourist spots not far from the Mubarak family compound in Sharm el-Sheikh.

Europe must also recognize why leaders like Hezbollah's Sheikh Hasan Nasrullah are popular.

Sheikh Hasina, the Awami League's leader and the daughter of the Bangladesh's founding father, survived a grenade attack last summer that killed at least 20 people and injured hundreds more.

He and the Pakistani army delivered many of the Al Qaeda members most wanted by the US - Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Egyptians, Yemenis, Saudis, and so on.

In Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh now has a charismatic leader whose massive electoral mandate augurs well for creating the type of strong, secular government that the country needs.

Hasina's enormous popularity as a former prime minister, and her status as one of only two surviving daughters of Bangladesh's founder, Sheikh Mujib Rahman, always ensured that she would be a leading contender in the election.
