The Economist summarizes what to expect in the coming week. In short:
– presidential elections in Nigeria: “an oil-rich but troubled west African nation with some 140m people.”
– the trial against… José Padilla is expected to begin… after five years.
– presidential elections dans la France.
– and Bhutan will hold a “mock election” to “familiarise both voters and officialdom with the alien procedures of a democratic poll”. Quite a fascinating country, isn’t it?
