- commentary
Charlie Hebdo (CH) is a
weekly magazine, distributed mainly in Paris, before its online presence. Its
predecessor was the satirical newspaper named Hara-Kiri, banned for parodying
the death of former French President Charles de Gaulle (Gibson, 2015)
(Bloomberg, 2015). It does not have a very wide circulation but has been famous
for years in France for its political satire (Duggan, 2015) (Gibson, 2015)
mainly aimed at religious groups, political parties and other powerful lobbies.
(Duggan, 2015) (Gibson, 2015).
Satire is about ‘Holding
the powerful, including politicians and the media accountable’ (El Rhazoui,
2015) (Wall Street Journal, 2016). Both
ST correspond to this definition. One is about politicians’ diplomacy to
Islamism and the other about hunting groups (and all other groups engaging in
killing and cruelty to animals) who historically proved to be very actively attacking
those who expose or attempt to make them accountable for their activities
(l214, 2009) (Pike, 2019).
The courage and ethics
talked about in ‘Raif Badawi n’est pas raisonable’ in particular echoes at the
well-known and dire situation of Charlie Hebdo’s team itself, that has faced
several attempts at assassination, one of which resulted in the killing of
twelve people amongst whom their most famous members and very seasoned and
famous French cartoonists (Chazan, 2018). More generally, the journal caricatural,
lampoonist style story (Chazan, 2018) is also set in a country seeing resurgent
debates on ‘blasphemy laws’ (NSS, 2014)-though being a legal offence that does
not exist in France- (RFI, 2015), recurrent disapprovals of the right to free
expression and caricatures as an art form proffered by numerous journalists,
politicians, public figures and the general opinion putting into question the
right to do so (Chazan, 2018) (News Wire, 2018) (France 24, 2019) (Bloomberg,
2015) (France 24, 2019) one of them having been the former President of France
Chirac (Gibson, 2015). Perhaps contrarily to the impression one can have from
the international press, Charlie Hebdo has been oftentimes severely attacked
legally and publicly, has been brought to courts in numerous occasions (Fouché, 2007) (The
Guardian, 2007) - trials that they mostly won but sometimes lost and that never
have ceased to be a threat to the journal’s existence (CH, 2018) (Sire, 2018).
Charlie Hebdo today spends vast sums of money, half their turnover, to ensure
the security of its writers and cartoonists (News Wire, 2018) (Chazan, 2018).
The client asking for the
translations is an organization founded around a human rights movement-
particularly freedom of speech. The organization aims is to ensure that the
texts they select be translated as part of a portfolio in order for these
texts, written in a foreign language, be available for English speakers and
more specifically militants of all ages and backgrounds. The client would like
to avoid too familiar expressions and allow the toning down of very vulgar
extracts as this organization has an informative aim.
The objective is to stay
faithful to the text, keeping structures, rhythms, images and metaphors to
transmit intact its literary values, with a possibility for attenuating, and
not magnifying TS’ features.
The brief will also allow
the translator to add notes for the readership to have at their disposal news
updates on old articles, alternative references maybe not visible in the
‘billet du jour’, Charlie Hebdo’s weekly opinion column (Charlie Hebdo, 2019).
Humour is renowned in academia to
be very hard to theorise (Morin, 2003) but it is also the case that it is hard
to categorise as it presents in many genres (Zabalbeascoa, 2019) (Morin, 2003) here maybe
what can be described as a satirical, witty, buffoon, sometimes dark humour way
of treating news (Bloomberg, 2015) (Sire, 2018).
Both STs could be said to
be not really humorous, but mainly sarcastic, beneficiating from freer
readership expectations in a magazine that does not require cold,
inartistically shaped or literary forms avoidance that the more objective,
factual or serious newspapers will adopt. The question of purpose could in that
way prove fundamental because one could not accept from a source that claims to
say the truth or state facts what is said in the context of entertainment (CNN,
2013).
What the dominant
communicative function of these texts is, could be perhaps controversial as the
limits between arts, entertainment, opinion pieces and journalism are here
blurred. Charlie Hebdo’s editors and journalists have revendicated very often
their rights to have fun (Gibson, 2015), to be irresponsible, etc … (Bloomberg,
2015) (Cabu, 2005) (El Rhazoui, 2015). In Reiss’ s typology, this corresponds
to an expressive function (Reiss, 1977). For its minor function, it is first a
descriptive one fulfilling the role of a newspaper and bringing to its readers
an account of what has been done in the political sphere. Charlie Hebdo may
well be said to tick all three of Reiss’ s typology’s functions since the paper
has always assumed an open secularist (El Rhazoui, 2015) and leftist editorial
line (Gibson, 2015) (Bloomberg, 2015), giving it a militant edge that by nature
will attempt to exert an appellative/operative function too.
Within an instrumental
approach context, a slightly heterofunctional skopos will be adequate since the
functions from the ST to the TT have changed (Reiss, 1977). The aims of this
association are to represent different events and opinions, and therefore
brings an informative and discursive function to the fore; secondly, an appellative
one in order to trigger calls for actions. Finally, if the artistic function is
respected in the translations, it will not be the primary motive.
With both texts, a common
target: two figures of government. Each text offers a depiction of a central character,
insisting on their reputations of white knights in the world of words and both
as well casting guilt on people for failures they do not themselves manage to
overcome. Thus, incarnating what irony likes deriding as hypocritical (Wall
Street Journal, 2016).
Because it is at the
heart of humoristic genre to establish a contrast between the supposed good and
the actual bad (Morin, 2003), ironic, sarcastic texts, used as a weapon
(Briggs, 1928), are texts ‘delineating, exposing contrasts’ (Brill, 1917)
(Sweeney, 2018). To transcribe this underlining of the negative traits (Sweeney,
2018) will count as the prerequisites in the translators’ decisions. For
example for Badawi text’s lay-out, the two paragraphs are separated with an
additional interlinear space, just like a flashback, creating a non-linear
story frame, (Sweeney, 2018) a precedent to Trudeau’s remarks on Saudi Arabia:
its history of jailing people not following religious tenets- unlike the rule
of law, democracy and secularism in France that respects their fundamental
freedoms.
Thus, the absurd is
unveiled and turned into ridicule (Wall Street Journal, 2016): with people
claiming one thing and doing the other- the objective of the texts is in the
rendering of how broken and nonsensical their speeches (Brill, 1917), seen at
the light of their actions, truly are.
Phrases such as double
discourse shall be kept in the TT. The duplicity that is at the centre of these
texts is amply demonstrated. The word ‘double’ also is a pun with weapons since
a shotgun is typically with a double barrel and that the trapping used on the
larks, by the law under Hulot’s ministry, are double entry mesh
(LPO, 2018). The opposing semantic fields of religion and murders
translated with words such as ‘accessoirement’ by ‘accessorily’, ‘massacre’ by ‘massacre’,
‘sacrosaint’ by ‘sacrosanct’, ‘affronter’
by ‘battle’, and ‘benediction’ by itself etc. also must be
kept.
The main secondary theme
of the text and possibly the one bringing the more resentment is the one of
laicity versus multiculturalism politics- this statement remains debatable as Canada
is a secularist state (Buckingham, 2019). Laicity, secularism, multiculturalism
and multicultural accommodation of
minorities are keys concepts (Lægaard, 2017) that will pose a
problem to the TC. Laicity is one could say very French and is an integral part
of the French tradition and this of the republic (El Rhazoui, 2015). The
average anglophone person is bound to have a reduced knowledge of what laicity
is since it not a leading principle in anglophone countries. Laicity cannot be
equated with secularism either ( , 2019)
but more with a ‘French-style secularism’ (El Rhazoui, 2015). More than being a
foreign notion, laicity embodies a political and cultural divide too. Many
anglophone countries, in particular the US are critical of laicity (King, 2004)
and France in turn rejects multiculturalism whereas ‘French ‘assimilationist’ policies are generally seen as the polar
opposite of British-style multiculturalism (Blanc-Noël, 2010). In
Canada, the controversy over laicity is very much alive today with Quebec
presently trying to pass the Quebec’s Bill 21 towards legislating state
laicity in the province of Quebec ( ,
2019) (Toutant, 2018) (Dougherty, 2019) and with Prime Minister Trudeau
recurrently opposing it (Toutant, 2018). Trudeau is regularly depicted, even
joked at, as someone who takes multiculturalism too far-the reference to ‘accommodements
raisonnables’ in the TS being one severe stumbling-block (Canadian Press,
2018). Amusingly,
the internet searches in French clearly tend to result in pro-laicity articles
while the same searches in English generate more anti-laicity law
publications.
Talking about laicity in
a journal that allows play on words, I used the improbable ‘unceasing’, itself
consonant with secularism, rather than for example ‘never-ending’ or ‘endless’
issue, as a compensation for play on words that remained untranslated
(Zanettin, 2010). Utilising another consonance, President Macron equated ‘political
Islam and communitarianism’ with ‘secession’ with the republic last month (LCI,
2019).
In Hulot’s text it is the
environmentalist movement and hunting lobbies that are at loggerheads. Even if
species and biodiversity decline does not affect only France but the whole of
Europe (Vanlerberghe, 2018) (Schaub et al, 2018), it is a subject that has been
very traditionally (even though mediatised tardively) virulent and omnipresent
in the French media. Yet again even though there are many advocates fighting
hunting and promoting animal rights, I would argue that the TC is less
sensitised to these subjects by the main media, certainly because French is
more rural and benefit from more species diversity than the UK. Also, France
being much smaller than countries like Canada, Australia or the US, so hunting
practices are more in view and therefore are much more mediatised too.
The ambition of the ST on
Hulot is explicit in several places- it is to stir indignation. Indignation
against the untenable gap between discourse and action highlighted by
the not only shooting but shooting at members of a species that has been in
decline for decades, and lost 20 % of its population in less than 15 years
(Vanlerberghe, 2018) (Schaub et al, 2018). Though the lark has become the
symbol of species in decline mainly because of the agriculture industry
incurring a loss of its habitat; the lark and at large the birds extremely
worrying endangered situation has only been aggravated by hunting
(Vanlerberghe, 2018) (Schaub et al, 2018). In view of these statistics, I opted
for an information change, an addition (Chesterman, 1997) to let people know
that ‘recent and dramatic population declines make it a Red List species’
(RSPB, 2018) i.e. that the lark is also on the list of threatened species
(Aercke, 2018) (Baron, 2018) (Ayet et al, 2010) (Vosgesmatin, 2009).
Humor is linked with
emotion (Vandaele,
2010) and
in the brief the appellative function in the TT is also recommended in order to
give a good quality read to militant in phase with a read that brings energy to
both discussions and engagements.
To that effect one may
need to lengthen the text with an explanation (Chesterman, 1997) here to try
and render the horror of the situation. I used ‘a more emphatic phrase’ to
restore ‘intention by intention’ (Bassnet, 2014, pp. 125-6), in order to raise
the intensity of the TT to this of the ST. In French the sinister side is very
clear, the lark song is so popular that it is an inescapable feature of
schooling of the French education, and whoever rehears it as adult can only be
acutely aware of what it depicts is atrocity: a French person just needs the
evocation of this song to perfectly assimilate that murder is on the menu.
Also, in the translation there is an addition (Zanettin, 2010) from ‘Alouette,
gentille alouette, je te plumerai, etc’ to ‘Lark, nice lark, Lark, I will pluck
you. I will pluck your head. ×2, And your head!
×2’, etc …. To ‘Well, in a nutshell, Nicolas Hulot, will just do what
the children's song says it will to this friendly bird’. This lengthening, by a
long paraphrase and a reiteration confirming it is a song in which the bird is
put to death by plucking, acts as a device giving to the readers more time and
more focus on the pregnant and usually metaphoric couplet- in this text tough
the image is to be understood quite literally.
While an instrumental
approach will lead, the brief does not exclude a documentary translation. The client
tries to reach a global readership, and intent to cultivate various cultural
approaches, and preserve the linguistical, philosophical and philological
savours of texts.
First and foremost, I
kept the literal equivalent of the title ‘RAIF BADAWI N'EST PAS RAISONNABLE’
with ‘RAIF BADAWI IS NOT REASONABLE’ because of its inflictive power.
The word ‘tremolo’
in French means a musical instrument part, and is also used for the sounds that
some birds may produce (Oiseaux-Birds, 2019). ‘Tremolos’ has been left intact
in the TT for the discerning reader as the lark in particular is
famous for her songs; and is even the eponymous heroin of a well-known poem
written by Shakespeare
“Hark, hark! the lark at
heaven's gate sings”
In French though ‘tremolo’ also
can hint at some purposeful melodramatization effects (CNRT,
2019). In
English ‘tremolo’ loses this melodramatisation effect. To keep in the text, the
vocalisation of the speech in the ST, which the author equated to a bird song
participating to what dark humour might reap of warnings and alarms-tremolo in
ornithology is used as a name for the loon bird fight call (NLC, 2018).
Painfully then, one can imagine that birds who are doubly threatened in their
numbers and safety and who are about to be slaughtered could give howling
calls. Tremolo could also be reminiscent of entrapment (like hoot, and shoot)
since its variative trembling sound effect could be used for mimicking birds in
accessories such as whistles,
decoy calls
or kazoos employed during call-hunting.
To preserve the familiarity of a
‘tout le monde s'en fiche’ by a similar familiar formula such as ‘people couldn't care less’ is
important because they are the very words uttered by Hulot, and stand as a
blatantly out of character language for a minister, and that they can echo and
confirm the melodramatics he is accused of.
To be preserved too, are
‘le gendre
ideal’, et ‘le beau Justin’ the latter that possibly intimating ‘beau-fils’. This
way, the target of joke and ‘archetype of the ideal son-in-law’ is Trudeau but
also the societal system as a whole because of being the ideal image
corresponding to the exclusive criteria a family could wish for. Approval and
desirability (beau itself lists ‘etiquette’ and ‘propriety’ amongst
its meanings) are associated with the reputation that many politicians
have to be successful in politics thanks to their looks, and Justin Trudeau in
particular (McKibben, 2018). This allusion at family links, and the routine
joke on being the ‘ideal son-in-law’ is also not random at all since Justin
Trudeau is the son of Pierre Trudeau, himself former Canadian Prime Minister
and oil company funder and heir of his father, a millionaire gas station
entrepreneur (McGregor,
2013).
To purposefully keep key
sentences, such as
« On ne veut pas avoir de mauvaises relations
avec l'Arabie saoudite, c'est un pays qui a quand même une certaine importance
dans le monde »,
that purports to expose a golden rule
of Trudeau’s diplomacy or of ironically diplomacy itself, and illustrates
what the author thinks is the underlining philosophy of the politics he
describes.
The rest of the text shows that
Trudeau’s ethics are not consistent. Described as ‘double speak’ by the Quebec CBC
News, 2018), these juxtapositions in the ST only reveals dramatically
disproportionate double standards. It goes without sayint that Saudi Arabia is
an important country but does it make sense at all to condemn France and say
nothing or very little of the extremely serious human rights abuses constantly
perpetrated by Saudi Arabia (HRW, 2018) (Amnesty UK, 2018) (RT,
2015) (Azan, 2016)?
Another pivotal element to this
text is the acknowledgment that this rule is one widely adopted.
À sa décharge, reconnaissons que peu de grandes
démocraties occidentales se payent le luxe de « mauvaises relations »
avec l'Arabie saoudite.
It reiterates how important diplomacy is consensually.
Trudeau is said to have attacked France by defending Saudi Arabia, and though
he has failed to prevent a dangerous escalation. ‘Bredouillle’ is about unease
in speech but also means without any results; ‘décharge’ alludes to the
ambassador that cannot stay (dechargé de ses functions). This sequence is
paramount to participate in conveying helplessness from the very powerful and
paramount national figure conferred to PMs and allows mockery, maybe provoked
just like laughter might be, by ‘releasing tension built up by aggression’ (OU, 2019a).
Finally, another major
pre-translation decision, after searching the subjects, was to translate the
opinion without putting forward every single trait of the caricatures. The dual
challenge of news translation ethics involves the endorsement of positions taken
by authors but also because news items participate actively in the making of
public opinions concerning real people in real time; journalistic ethics (and
here the translator has the function of translating news, so goes under
journalism ethics) demand to represent the author side but also the truth (Wall
Street Journal, 2016). And this in contradistinctions with caricatures which
depart from the strict reality (Morin, 2003) (Sweeney, 2018).
Another intrinsic problem
of news translation lays with time-line (OU, 2019). Both STs are prior to
subsequent reactions that could be viewed as ‘redemptive’ and that in any case
may change altogether the overall story. As showed in the explanatory footnotes
at the attention of the publisher, Nicolas Hulot resigned from being the
Minister of the environment less than one month after Charlie Hebdo’ column
(Farand, 2018) (James, 2018).
Canada seems to have been
alone in the international scene against Radawi treatment (al jazhera, 2018)
(Kassam, 2018). By the same token, PM Trudeau took further actions against the
Saudi Arabia regime by criticizing it for several other human rights violations
(Kestler-D'Amours, 2018) (Baker, 2018). To acknowledge an up-to-date timeline
of Canada’s conflicts with Saudi Arabia is crucial since as it happens Canada
has proven itself to be rather exemplary in the matter in relations with
otherwise silent international partners and players.
Because of this information
that counters the image of servility that could have been further expressed in
the TT, I chose to moderate a how I translated and conveyed Hulot’s and
Trudeau’s character- but not directly through the TT but rather with footnotes.
Current diplomacy style is often said to be done via twittering and thereby
amplifies emotional responses (Stanzel, 2018) (al jazhera, 2018). Humour may
pull on this same emotional string, and the brief enabled the translators to
stir militants’ knowledge and opinions in what could be a twofold move on
affect and cognition. Adding explanatory notes (in which may be traced
something of a Charlie Hebdo’s tone) and adopting more neutral, nuanced or
rationalised rather than visceral and passionate stances and sketches that at
some points were exclusively made of dissimilarities,
divergences, deviances and contradictions were preferred to minimise a
possible disposition towards
Manicheism (Siassi, 2016), and simply to bring the readership up to date on
latest developments.

1,000 lashes for ‘insulting Islam’ on his liberal website ( )
Mr
Badawi has already been sentenced
to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes – administered at a rate of 50 per week – for criticising
the country’s clerics through his liberal blog. In 2013, a judge threw out the
charge of apostasy against the 31-year-old blogger after he assured the court
that he was a Muslim. The
evidence against him had included the fact that he pressed the “Like” button on
a Facebook page for Arab Christians.

Projet d’arrêté supprimant les pièges noyants
Du 07/01/2019 au 28/01/2019 - 2597
commentaires
Ce projet d’arrêté concerne le piégeage des animaux classés
"susceptibles d’occasionner des dégâts" (anciennement
"nuisibles"), plus spécifiquement par les pièges dit noyants,
utilisés pour prélever des individus de rats musqués et ragondins. Il propose l’interdiction de ces
pièges, notamment au regard de la souffrance animale induite.
Le piégeage par dispositifs "noyants", comme les
"bidons à double fond" (pièges de catégorie 5 dans l’arrêté du
29/01/2007 relatif au piégeage) entraîne la mort des animaux par noyade.

Si les accommodements, dits raisonnables,
heurtent tant, c'est qu'ils n'ont rien de raisonnable. Ils relèvent de
privilèges que la sacro-sainte Charte accorde aux religions.
Pourquoi ne pas dépoussiérer cette
Charte, écrite il y a trop longtemps, et remplacer le concept de religion par
celui d'option spirituelle en donnant à toutes ces options un même champ
d'expression? Pourquoi permettre à des religions de s'exprimer là où des
options politiques ou d'autres options spirituelles sont prohibées? N'est-ce
pas ça, un privilège?
La laïcité qui se dit ouverte est un oxymore qui passe sous silence le privilège des religions que la sacro-sainte Charte leur confère.
La laïcité authentique est un cadre à l'intérieur duquel toutes les options spirituelles demandent à être traitées également.
Vivement la laïcité authentique!

Why is male rage sacrosanct?
Gugulethu Mhlungu 25 May 2018 00:00
Instead patriarchy demands of all males that
they engage in acts of psychic
self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves.
Under
patriarchy, men’s anger is sacrosanct and unquestionable. Men can kill women because rejection angers them. Men rape
and assault women, children and other men because they are hurting and broken —
as though the rest of us aren’t hurt and broken.

The Pope's visit to Chile has
aroused little enthusiasm on both sides of the Andes. Voices critical of his double discourse on sexual abusing and paedophile
priests are growing. "I cannot help but express the pain and shame I feel at the irreparable
damage caused to children by the Church."
[…]. A cynical speech when he comes from taking part, in Rome,
of the funeral of Cardinal Bernard Law, one of the great cases of aberrant
priests of the Catholic Church.
And
to top it all, priest Juan Barros, a member of the Karadima group, and
considered an accessory, was named bishop by Pope Francis.
At
the end of 2017, the Pope attended the funeral of sexual abuser Cardinal Law
After the scandal became known,
Bernard Law was forced to present his resignation as archbishop of Boston, but
John Paul II sent him to Rome and appointed him archpriest of Santa Maria Maggiore
basilica. Law kept his
position in the College of Cardinals and in the Congregation for Bishops. Pope
Francis continued this protection.
However, day by day, both on
paedophilia by many priests who are now covered up, as in the rights of women,
as in popular rebellions, it is shown their supposed support for the poor and
oppressed is just a double discourse. The Church remains the same sexist and
reactionary institution that, for centuries, has been closely associated
with the powerful, be they feudal, kings, or capitalists, guaranteeing their
stability.

If
the bill is passed in its current form, which it is likely to do as the CAQ has
a majority of seats, it
will ban people in positions of authority from wearing signs of their religion.
This includes judges, police officers, prosecutors, and teachers.
Speaking
to reporters this morning, Justin
Trudeau condemned the motion before Bill 21 had even been tabled.
The
bill includes a "grandfather clause," which means that employees that
were hired before May 28 may continue wearing their symbols.
Trudeau
went on to say, “it is unthinkable to me that in a free society, we would legitimize
discrimination against citizens based on their religion.”
Bravo Quebec for leading the way for a secular society. Trudeau's
weakness and capitulation on this issue has meant more visible religion in Canada, values which
are incompatible with a 21st-century democracy. https://t.co/zJlxKJlHXc

Of
course, many people in Quebec, including Montreal mayor Valérie Plante, have
also voiced their objection
to the religious symbol ban. In this instance, however, there are far more
people comdemning Trudeau's comments on the ban than supporting them.
Many critics believe the bill, if passed,
will not hold up in law for impeding religious freedoms.

Quebec’s
new ‘laicity’ bill to override provincial, Canadian rights charters
By
Kevin Dougherty. Published on Mar 28, 2019 1:23pm
QUEBEC
— Teachers, judges, lawyers, transit commissions, municipalities, school boards
and the staff of provincial government bodies would be bound by the Coalition
Avenir Québec’s proposed bill enshrining “the laicity of the state.”
A
ban on wearing religious signs by designated officials, including the Speaker
and Deputy Speakers of the
Quebec National Assembly would be imposed under Bill 21, which the government
of Premier François
Legault hopes to see adopted before the assembly’s summer adjournment.
The bill, presented Thursday, also
includes two notwithstanding clauses to override guarantees in the Quebec and Canadian human
rights charters protecting fundamental rights, including religious freedom.
C.ET: but the big joke is that under neo-capitalism
there is no state, care is privatized, transportation is privatized,
libraries????????? Are dumped. Schools?????? After all it cannot be difficult
to group under 16 in classroom and say one fulfills the need for education of
international in war standards. Education has been for decades at the center of
controversies on how class are there fabricated. So what? Dump it.
C.ET:
the state is for everybody; it should embody freedom and justice not appalling
and disillusional ranking system.
Religious
freedom is not the right to impose it on everybody.
For
the truly religious- 0,0001%, let’s hope you will be accepted as priests by
your community- the righteous.

'massacre': Prince William at a recent United for Wildlife Symposium
An
animal welfare campaign group has slammed a 'Windsor wildlife massacre' after
figures showed more than 7,000 animals were killed on the royal estate in just
a single year.
The
staggering total for 2013 includes 1,161 rabbits, 772 jackdaws, 325 squirrels,
191 crows, 159 foxes, 118 parakeets, 56 roe deer, 28 hares, nine moles and
three mink.
Prince
Harry was pictured with the body of a shot water buffalo and Prince William appeared
at a United for Wildlife Symposium days after spending the weekend before
shooting wild boar and stag in Spain.
The
Windsor Estate has responded to the figures by claiming that most of the
"vermin control" - including 3,901 pigeons - was done at the request of
tenant farmers.

Russian denies reports it triggered Qatar diplomatic crisis with fake news

Published: 1:09pm, 7 Jun, 2017
Russian
officials on Wednesday angrily rejected allegations that Russian hackers breached Qatar’s state
news agency and planted a fake news story that led to a split between Qatar and
the other Arab nations.
Tensions between Qatar and Saudi Arabia
— a Middle East heavyweight — bubbled to the surface two weeks ago when Qatar
said its state-run news agency and its Twitter account were hacked to publish a
fake story claiming the emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, had called Iran
“a regional and Islamic power that cannot be ignored.”
