...been negotiating security arrangements with Dahlan, has called the truce with Hamas "a threat to peace," because it leaves their terror capability intact and gives them time and space to regroup. Israel will reportedly give Abbas and Dahlan up to six weeks, following the resumption of security control, to launch a full-blown crackdown designed to disarm and dismantle the terror wings of Hamas and other groups.

The contestants on the African reality-television program may be divided, but their antics have united viewers across the continent - and in the process created an unlikely cultural force. Since the launch of the program three weeks ago, millions of viewers have tuned in every evening, making Big Brother one of the most popular television programs ever produced in Africa.
