1. The Dictator comes to Sevilla - Andalucia.com
1 sep 2011 · Sacha Baron Cohen has turned Plaza de España into an evil Middle Eastern dictator's palace, complete with gold-domed entrance and fleet of vehicles.
He recently rode a camel down a New York street, and carried around a baby goat, while making his new film. He wrestled naked with another man, and chased Pamela Anderson around a car park while shouting a marriage proposal at her in a previous movie, Borat. As Ali G, he made fools of politicians and celebrities around the world. Now, Sacha Baron Cohen has turned Plaza de España into an evil Middle Eastern dictator's palace, complete with gold-domed entrance and fleet of vehicles, from armoured cars to luxury sports models. The British comedian and actor, best known for his white would-be rapper from Enfield, is in Seville to film scenes for his new movie, El Dictador. On Wednesday local newspapers carried a photo of Baron Cohen - dressed for his role in a white uniform embellished with a colourful (and ridiculously large) chequerboard of medals, and sporting a bushy black beard - shaking hands with the city's mayor, Juan Ignacio Zoido. The backdrop was Plaza de España. I can see that particular shot ending up as one of the new mayor's collection of "my celeb mates" framed photographs adorning the wall of his office. The film is about "an Arabic dictator", in other words Saddam Hussein. The character's name is Aladeen, and his fictional state is Fedijah (pron Fed-ee-yah). The screenplay is loosely based on a romantic novel about an amiable dictator, Zabibah and the King, published anonymously in 2000 - it is thought to be thinly-disguised pro-Hussein propaganda. But it is ver...

Colombia - La Violencia, Dictatorship, Restoration: Liberal hegemony continued through the 1930s and the World War II era, and Alfonso López Pumarejo was reelected in 1942; however, wartime conditions were not favourable to social change. In the elections of 1946, two Liberal candidates, Gabriel Turbay and Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, stood for election and thus split the Liberal vote. A Conservative, Mariano Ospina Pérez, took office. Conservatives had been embittered by political sidelining and, since 1930, had suffered violent attacks at the hands of Liberal supporters. With the electoral victory of 1946 they instituted a series of crude reprisals against Liberals. It was the initiation of the
