Italian Elections Appear Inconclusive
Feb 25th 2013, 22:28

The Italian general elections look to be inconclusive, with neither the leftists nor the right-wing parties expected to gain a working majority in parliament after two days of voting. A partial vote count late Monday showed former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's center-right coalition could win more than half of the Senate seats while Pier Luigi Bersani's center-left coalition could gain control of the lower house Chamber of Deputies. Voters discontented by politics-as-usual gave ...

Pakistani Handover of Gwadar Port to Beijing Draws Scrutiny
Feb 25th 2013, 22:03

But critics and financial analysts are skeptical about the remote port's economic viability and believe it will be used for military purposes. The Gwadar port lies near the Strait of Hormuz, gateway for about 20 percent of the world's oil. Beijing provided most of the port's initial $250 million construction cost, as part of a ...

In Kenya, political coalitions usually are formed on the basis of tribal alliance and who can get the most votes from their base. With next week's presidential vote looking to be a close contest, though, minority tribes have a bigger role to play. The latest public-opinion poll shows Prime Minister Raila Odinga running neck-and-neck with Uhuru Kenyatta in the presidential race.
