Story: the curse of the Bhutto, "the Kennedy of Pakistan"
She, the beautiful Fatima with ample gestures, is the cosmopolitan scribe of the family tragedy, failing to want to enter politics, despite the pressing calls."Power is a dangerous machine," she said in front of her friends.His father, Murtaza-"A wonderful dad", she said-is one of his toilet: accused of having participated in attacks, he himself fell under the bullets in front of the Bhutto home.Her aunt, Benazir, is another victim of fate thrown on the clan: nicknamed "BB" or "Pinky" for the pink of her clothes, she was the first woman to direct a Muslim country, at 35 years old.Her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, now embodies the figure of the corrupt.Pakistanis call him "Mister 10 %" for his notorious propensity to take a tithe from major state contracts.
The son of Asif Ali Zardari and Benazir Bhutto, Bilawal, 25 years old and a mouth of Bollywood actor;In 2007, he took the presidency of the Pakistani people's party (PPP), founded by the grandfather.In his last wishes, Benazir wanted to this.However, he has the reputation of a "son of" without charisma, a rastignac with fragile ambitions, probably because of the perils.History graduate in Oxford and black belt of Taekwondo, Bilawal prefers London worldly evenings with oratorical jousts in his country.The Pakistani equivalent of the news Guignols compares it to Jackie Chan.His fans would prefer to see him on a cricket stadium, the most popular sport in the country, rather than on a tatami or in riding rides.In the battle for the succession, he does not score any point.He may claim: "My mother has always said that democracy is the best of revenge", his hesitant practice of Ourdou forces him to learn his rare speeches by heart.However, there is no shortage of respondents.To whom he promises him, on Twitter, a fate of Shahid, he responds from the tac to the tac: "If God wants it ..." The party does not hear it so and prefers to keep it in reserve.The PPP has more popular than the name: it is in the hands of Sardars, these large landowners who enslave the peasants subject to debts inherited from their parents.For this too, the inheritance is difficult to assume.For the time being, Bilawal wants to launch a Benazir foundation in memory of his mother.
Dictators and squash ace
Fatima has chosen: she will denounce by writing the flaws of this unmanageable nation, born in 1947 of the partition of the Raj, the Empire of the British Indies.At 15 and dust, she already composed a collection of virulent poems, Whispers of the Desert (Presses Universitaires d'Oxford, 1998).She then published a story of the family tragedy.Many take it for their rank, starting with Benazir that she hated during her lifetime because she considered her responsible for the death of her father, Murtaza.

Until a recent date, the life of Fatima Bhutto was only a long wandering to escape the worst.Born in Kabul in 1982 of an Afghan mother, when her father was in exile, she joined Damascus for an apartment without charm of the old district of Mazzeh.The father and the child were sailing from stopover to the moods of dignitaries or dictators.Murtaza fled the sicaries launched after him by the secret services of Pakistan.It is in the shade of these plots and these fears that Fatima grew.In 1985, three years old, she learned of the death of her uncle Shahnawaz, friend of the French lawyer Jacques Vergès and accustomed to casinos on the Côte d'Azur, mysteriously poisoned in Cannes.Without having to read Shakespeare, she nourished himself with wild debates with exiles in conspiratorial mines, strangers who were invited to her father, surely agents in the pay of such raïs or dictator, of the Syrian HafezEl-Assad, father of Bashar, in Libyan Muammar Gaddafi.To forget, she was watching movies on the mafia.Meanwhile, Murtaza, who has become a squash ace, tried to teach him carefree.In Damascus, he played with her by the pool, had enrolled her in an American school, the community school, and forced her to take courses in a small balleries academy where he met his future wife, the beautiful Lebanese dancerGhinwa.In adolescence, Fatima had blues to the body, nostalgia for a country of origin that did not exist and the desire to do battle with the world.
