Maldives foreign minister quits during family power dispute
Colombo - Arab Today
The Maldives’ foreign minister resigned Tuesday amid reports of a family power dispute between the president, who is her uncle, and her father, who previously ruled the country for 30 years.
Dunya Maumoon told The Associated Press that she has submitted her resignation but won’t immediately discuss the reasons.
The resignation comes amid differences between President Yameen Abdul Gayoom and his half-brother, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris.
