RAMALLAH SPECIAL ENVOY - Plumes of smoke-scented escape from the veranda of the Grand Park. Refugees Fatah party of Mahmoud Abbas, leader of the Palestinian Authority, deceive boredom by smoking the hookah. Fleeing Gaza after the coup by Hamas militiamen, some thirty young professionals, members of security services, have made their quarters in this hotel, one of the most comfortable of Ramallah.
"No way back there before the collapse of Hamas," says one of them who refused to give his name, he said, to protect his family remained there. Optimistically, he hopes that the hand does take a few months. A member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council, Abu Ali Shahin, who deemed it prudent to retreat in the West Bank after Hamas attacked hard in the press, also hopes an upcoming and fast "liberation of Gaza", but he is circumspect: " The Hamas suicide, which has shown its true face, not enough to restore Fatah also requires that our management to make the right choices.
" Stunned by the blow has established its collapse in forty-eight hours, the party founded by Yasser Arafat finds it hard to recover and trying those responsible. If all publicly denounce the same tone of "barbarism" and "terrorism" of the Islamists, in-house criticism raining down on Mohammed Dahlan.
Long touted as the strong man of that territory crowded, Fatah member was absent at the crucial moment, as his lieutenants. "We need an inquiry modeled on that of the Israelis for the Lebanon war," says Abu Ali Shahin, who wants the facts to come out before deciding. The rout in Gaza is dated, the last step, after the stinging setback suffered at the municipal and legislative elections between 2004 and 2006, a deeper process of decomposition.
"Everything has to be rebuilt," sighs the former member Qadoura Fares. "We thought we had a solid tool with security services. We have not seen how corruption had gangrene and how it was easy for Hamas to infiltrate them." Close to Marwan Barghouti, imprisoned in Israel and is now, after the humiliation inflicted on Mohammed Dahlan, the last young Fatah leader still popular, Qadoura Fares fears yet again that Fatah are to opt for inaction.
"Since the death of Yasser Arafat (2004), it was never possible to say aloud what we think. It should not, we were told that Hamas benefits. These calls for the unity at all costs have not increased but the movement has weakened. " Within Fatah, there are many who doubt the ability of Mr.
Abbas to revive the party. "Abu Mazen (his nom de guerre)? He would make an excellent president of Israel", a largely ceremonial function. "By working only four or five hours a day, he can hardly claim to anymore," grumbles one unhappy. Differences are already emerging between those who, like Marwan Barghouti, strongly criticized the Hamas coup in Gaza, while maintaining the goal of the unity of Palestinians and those who believe that the break is finally consummated with the Islamists.
In the speech delivered very virulent, Wednesday, June 20, before the National Council of the PLO, a body convened fallen into disuse for short-circuit the Legislative Council controlled by Hamas, Abbas has clearly placed in this camp there. "No dialogue with the junta, murderers, terrorists," he firmly told, calling the takeover of Hamas' plan to divide the West Bank and Gaza and establish an emirate, a mini-state, controlled by a single group, its fanatics and fundamentalists.
" "He (Abbas) has no choice if he wants to have the support of Americans who have always wanted the demise of the Islamists," said a part of Fatah. "But if Fatah does not move, warns Qadoura Fares in three years, what happened in Gaza happen in the West Bank." Gilles Paris Article published in the 22/06/2007
