Calvo said he hopes to start a successful "education campaign" on the issue before filing a petition to start a referendum. If the plebiscite does take place, voters on Guam would be asked to select which political status they would prefer; independence, statehood, or free association However, the possible vote would be non-binding as any change in political status would require an act of Congress in Washington, D.C.. Guam is currently on the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories in need of decolonization. 2016-04-2 f5500f7e4b28285605ac56ee5bfc1a66a60b380a 22 Al Arabiya 13 /wiki/al%20arabiya Beirut 36 /wiki/beirut Hezbollah 115 /wiki/hezbollah Iran 171 /wiki/iran Lebanon 70 /wiki/lebanon Saudi Arabia 1 /wiki/saudi%20arabia Al Arabiya Beirut Hezbollah Iran Lebanon Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia /feed/2016/04/2/the-saudi-owned-news-channel-al-arabiya-shuts-its-offices-in-beirut-lebanon-and-dismisses-27-employees-in-a-sudden-move Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty 2 447984c5aa47f63e6b33de0e29b1e53e1a4958bb 4 http://www.rferl.org/content/saudi-owned-al-arabiya-television-shuts-beirut-office-reflecting-saudi-iran-tensions/27649781.html 2016 The Saudi-owned news channel Al Arabiya shuts its offices in Beirut, Lebanon and dismisses 27 employees in a sudden move reflecting tensions between Saudi Arabia and Lebanon-based Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran.
