(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, 놀이터 먹튀 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 Islamists and secular forces over questions such as women’s rights, the extent of traditional...

(AP) PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Two Americans locked up for almost two months in a Haitian prison for their alleged roles in a pro-army demonstration were released on Friday. Judge Bredy Fabien said the charges against Jason William “Zeke” Petrie and Steven Parker Shaw were dropped because there wasn’t enough evidence to hold them. But Fabien added that their release was conditional and the two still needed to be available if the judge had questions. “Whenever I need them I can call them,” Fabien told The Associated Press after the closed-door hearing. The two were among more than 50 marchers who were locked up on May 18 for participating in a demonstration that pushed for the return of Haiti’s disbanded armed forces. Petrie and Shaw were initially charged with conspiracy after they allegedly drove a group of the hopeful soldiers in the march. That charge was later dismissed and they were charged with criminal association and attempted murder. Petrie, 39, is from Barberton, Ohio; and Shaw, 57, is from Dighton, Massachusetts. Upon their release, 마카오 바카라 미니멈 Petrie and Shaw hugged and kissed their girlfriends in the courtyard of the courthouse. “You know what, it’s a beautiful thing to be free — that’s what I can tell you,” Petrie as he put his arm around his girlfriend, Darlene Eliette, 20. Still, John Shattuck, a family friend who worked with attorneys...
