They will play their first Serie A match in over three months against Bologna on Monday, four days after losing the Italian Cup final to Napoli. The Serie A leaders failed to score in their two Cup matches since the Italian season re- sumed following the corona- virus lockdown, with goalless draws against AC Milan in the semi-finals, where Ron- aldo missed a penalty, and with Napoli in the final before a 4-2 defeat on penalties. “I spoke to Cristiano again yesterday.

Bertrand Traoré gave the visitors a 27th-minute lead and, though Andrej Kramarić turned the match on its head with goals either side of half-time, second-half strikes from Tanguy Ndombele (59) and Memphis Depay (67) looked to have given Lyon a second successive away win. Instead Hoffenheim substitute Joelinton rescued a point in added time, keeping the German side in touch with the top two. • Lyon therefore have five points, one behind leaders Manchester City but three ahead of both Hoffenheim and Shakhtar Donetsk. Hoffenheim will be unable to finish in the top two if they lose in Lyon and City win at home to Shakhtar in the other matchday four contest. Form guide Lyon • Les Gones kicked off their 2018/19 UEFA Champions League campaign with a memorable 2-1 victory at Manchester City, and recovered from 0-2 down at home to Shakhtar on matchday two to salvage a point.

  • Prescription for Power-Sharing in Contested Kirkuk
    RESEARCH PAPER Prescription for Power-Sharing in Contested Kirkuk Nawshirwan Hussein Saaed | Feb 2015 Prescription for Power Sharing in Contested Kirkuk Series: Research Paper Nawshirwan Hussein Saeed | Feb 2015 Copyright © 2015 Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies. All Rights Reserved. ____________________________ The Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies is an independent research institute and think tank for the study of history and social sciences, with particular emphasis on the applied social sciences. The Center’s paramount concern is the advancement of Arab societies and states, their cooperation with one another and issues concerning the Arab nation in general. To that end, it seeks to examine and diagnose the situation in the Arab world - states and communities- to analyze social, economic and cultural policies and to provide political analysis, from an Arab perspective. The Center publishes in both Arabic and English in order to make its work accessible to both Arab and non-Arab researchers. Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies PO Box 10277 Street No. 826, Zone 66 Doha, Qatar Tel.: +974 44199777 | Fax: +974 44831651 www.dohainstitute.org Abstract The future stability of Iraq depends on a peaceful resolution to the problem of Kirkuk. This article examines the contested city, and suggests the formation of a consociational democracy as a solution to current political divisions. It argues that a power sharing arrangement based on consociation is crucial to addressing the demands of each group in the city and for maintaining stability and diversity. Distinguishing in this way between corporate and liberal consociations can offer an institutional mechanism to manage and resolve tensions over the city and build a stable government in Kirkuk.

Charter is based on resolutions passed at its International Congresses and may be summarised as follows: P.E.N. affirms that: 1. Literature knows no frontiers and must remain common currency among people in spite of political or international upheavals. 2. In all circumstances, and particularly in time of war, works of art, the patrimony of humanity at large, should be left untouched by national or political passion. 3. Members of P.E.N. should at all times use what influence they have in favour of good understanding and mutual respect between nations; they pledge themselves to do their utmost to dispel race, class and national hatreds, and to champion the ideal of one humanity living in peace in one world. 4. P.E.N. stands for the principle of unhampered transmission of thought within each nation and between all nations, and members pledge themselves to oppose any form of suppression of freedom of expression in the country and community to which they belong, as well as throughout the world wherever this is possible. P.E.N. declares for a free press and opposes arbitrary censorship in time of peace. It believes that the necessary advance of the world towards a more highly organized political and economic order renders a free criticism of governments, administrations and institutions imperative.
