(AP) TRIPOLI, Libya – Libya’s first nationwide elections in nearly five decades brought hints Sunday of an Arab Spring precedent: Western-leaning parties making strides over Islamist rivals hoping to follow the same paths to power as in neighbors Egypt and Tunisia. While final results from Saturday’s parliamentary election could still be days away under a two-tier selection system, unofficial and partial counts from Libya’s biggest cities suggested liberal factions were leading the Muslim Brotherhood and allies in a possible first major setback to their political surge following last year’s uprisings. If the Libyan trend holds — which is still far from certain — it would challenge the narrative of rising Islamist power since the fall of Western-allied regimes from Tunis to Cairo. It also could display the different political dynamics in Libya, where tribal loyalties run deep and groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood at times cooperated with the rule of Muammar Qaddafi. “Anyone with past ties with old regime is hated, even despised,” said Fathi al-Fadhali, a pro-Islamist Libyan political analyst who lived in exile for 30 years. “Any political names associated with the regime are immediately politically burnt by that association.” Ultimately, the 200-seat parliament will face the task of forming a government — which could become tests of strength for 황금성 게임 다운로드 Islamists and secular forces over questions such as women’s rights, the extent of...

(CBS/AP) CAIRO – Egypt’s official news agency said the country’s top generals are holding an “emergency meeting” to discuss the surprise decision by the president to recall the dissolved, Islamist-dominated parliament. The Middle East News Agency said the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces that comprises top military chiefs was meeting Sunday to “review and discuss the consequences” of President Mohammed Morsi’s decision earlier today. Morsi on Sunday ordered the country’s Islamist-dominated parliament to reconvene in defiance of a military decree dissolving the legislature last month following a court ruling that a third of its members were illegally elected, the state news agency reported. The decree by Morsi, a longtime Muslim Brotherhood member and Egypt’s first democratically-elected president, also called for new parliamentary elections to be held within 60 days of the adoption of a new constitution for the country, which is not expected before late this year.
