突尼斯總理杰巴里在電視直播講話中宣布辭職。杰巴里曾以辭職作為威脅,要求復(fù)興運(yùn)動(dòng)黨支持自己解散內(nèi)閣,并取代之以未經(jīng)當(dāng)選的學(xué)者官員。本月初左翼反對(duì)派領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人Chokri Belaid遭暗殺,由此引起政治危機(jī)。Diana Husser報(bào)道。
The killing brought tens of thousands onto the streets calling for the government to resign but counter-demonstrators insisted they wanted their elected government to serve its full term. Mr. Jebali says Tunisians are disillusioned by politicians and confidence must be restored. But he added that the failure of his initiative does not mean the Tunisian revolution has failed.
暗殺事件發(fā)生后,成千上萬(wàn)人走上街頭要求政府下臺(tái),但反游行者要求當(dāng)選政府完成全部任期。杰巴里說(shuō),突尼斯人對(duì)政客們不再抱有希望,必須恢復(fù)公眾的信心。但他說(shuō),他提議的失敗并不意味著突尼斯革命已失敗。
A group of seven French nationals had been kidnapped in northern Cameroon near the Nigerian border. The French president said all seven were members of one family including four children. Tomi Oladipo reports from Nigeria.
French embassy sources say the tourists were returning from Waza national park in northeast Cameroon, a popular holiday spot among Westerners when they were captured by men on motorbikes. Speaking to reporters during a visit to Greece, France’s President Francois Hollande said that tourists were taken by a Nigerian terrorist group. This is the first case of foreigners being kidnapped in this part of Cameroon. The nearest city in neighbouring Nigeria is Maiduguri which is a hotbed of violence led by Islamist extremist groups. The rise of attacks against French nationals in the region has increased since France’s military intervention in Mali against Islamist rebels.
