| | Parliamentary committee grill Phoya, Wadi |
 | | The committee wanted to meet Phoya and Wadi over their alleged wrangle arising from minister’s claims of the alleged existence of a trio in government that was milking Asian traders and the DPP’s claims about pending corruption cases against the minister. | | | Several calls on Wadi’s cell phone went unanswered but a source said Wadi was grilled on his turn around within hours of alleging that Phoya was facing a number of corruption cases ready for trial. | | | Wadi, according to the source, told the committee that investigations, among them into how Phoya’s company secured a tender with the Malawi Electoral Commission, did not yield any hint of corruption. |

| | This theory can be challenged by the theory that the Essenes of Palestine were the first Christians, and they practiced monasticism. | | | Some traveller's guide books are quite scornful at the fact that most of what you will see at Wadi Natrun is not remotely close to its alleged age. | | | It is common to allege that Wadi Natrun was the actual birthplace for Christian monasticism. |

| | The Wadi Al-Teen quarry is not a unique incident but one of seven Israeli quarries which Israel had created in the West Bank ( Map 4). | | | On 11 August 1994, the Israeli Central Planning Office for 'Judea and Samaria', located in Beit El, proposed the expropriation of 968.5 hectares of Wadi Al-Teen area to be utilized as quarries for private Israeli companies. | | | Although a major portion of the land to be expropriated is privately owned by Palestinians, the Israeli Highest Planning Committee approved the proposal and it was thereafter referred to as Detailed Planning Scheme 24/52. |

| | A wadi is an irrigation canal found in Arab countries. | | | The Mareth Line was a German defensive line in North Africa during the Second World War running from the sea close to Mareth to the Matmata Hills, about 50 km away; it followed the Wadi Zigzau, a dried river bed which made an excellent defence against tanks. | | | The German field marshal Rommel retired to this line in March 1943, and British frontal attacks failed to dislodge him. |
