3, 2009 (TAP) - Tunisian Haithem Chetioui was defeated by Canadian Peter Paul Fradiban (3-0) and Lebanese Rachid Al Boubou (3-0) in the table tennis individual event at the Francophone Games held in Beirut. The national champion earns a beautifully harnessed horse in a style ridden by traditional local chiefs; a grand boubou ("an elaborately embroidered flowing gown"), a turban, and sandals as worn by nobles; a Tuareg saber symbolizing both force and peace or security, now known as the "National Saber"; and an envelope of money "allowing him to meet his responsibilities as a king" (Koudize 2005:26). The members of the audience also feel obligated to wear cotton fabric (called faso dan fani) or boubou. |
