Saudi Arabia says it will continue to use force to stop Houthi rebels from taking over Yemen. The Saudi ambassador to the United States, Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir said rebel troops were closing in on the port of Aden from 3 sides. And Saudi Arabia was determined to stop them taking the city. He said the operation in the country was entering a second phase.

沙特表示其將繼續(xù)對(duì)胡塞叛軍發(fā)動(dòng)襲擊阻止其占領(lǐng)也門地區(qū)。沙特駐聯(lián)合國(guó)大使Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir說叛軍隊(duì)伍正在從三個(gè)方向聚集到亞丁港口。沙特下決心要阻止其占領(lǐng)城區(qū)。他說該國(guó)境內(nèi)的行動(dòng)已經(jīng)進(jìn)入第二階段。

“The objective of this new phase is to continue to protect the civilians in Yemen from take-over by the Houthis, to counter any aggressive moves by the Houthis in Yemen, and to work on enhancing the flow of humanitarian assistance to Yemen, and ease the work of international humanitarian organizations in Yemen. And so when the Houthis or their allies make aggressive moves, there will be a response.”

新一階段的任務(wù)是繼續(xù)保護(hù)被胡塞叛軍占領(lǐng)地區(qū)的居民，繼續(xù)針對(duì)也門境內(nèi)的胡塞叛軍侵略行動(dòng)予以還擊，繼續(xù)加強(qiáng)對(duì)也門人道主義援助，緩解國(guó)際人道主義在也門的組織工作。當(dāng)胡塞叛軍或者其同盟軍再次采取侵略行動(dòng)的時(shí)候其會(huì)給予還擊。

The Red Cross has described the situation in Yemen as catastrophic and deteriorating by the day. The ICRC's Regional Director, Robert Mardini, who's just back from Yemen, described reports he'd received from the Red Cross office in Aden.

紅十字會(huì)稱也門現(xiàn)在的情形日益惡化。國(guó)際紅十字會(huì)區(qū)域負(fù)責(zé)人Robert Mardini剛剛從也門返回，下面是他從亞丁紅十字會(huì)辦公室受到的報(bào)道。

“We got 3 reports of dozens of dead bodies in the streets that nobody could retrieve. The humanitarian situation is really deteriorating by the day, and at times, catastrophic for people. In Sanaa, for instance, there has been no electricity now for 9 days. So you can imagine a city like Sanaa without electricity, no public services, water shortages, people now have to buy water with private tankers. It's very expensive.”He said the major logistical challenge was now to distribute the 50 tons of medical aid they'd managed to fly in a week ago.

我們接到三起報(bào)道稱街道上有數(shù)十具沒有人認(rèn)領(lǐng)的尸體。人道主義局勢(shì)著實(shí)正在日益惡化，與此同時(shí)還有對(duì)當(dāng)?shù)鼐用駷?zāi)難性的影響。比如薩那，已經(jīng)有9天沒有來電了，沒有公共服務(wù)，水資源急缺，現(xiàn)在人們用私人油罐車買水喝。這是非常昂貴的。他說現(xiàn)在面臨的最主要的挑戰(zhàn)是50噸醫(yī)療援助的運(yùn)輸，而這些物資在一周前就已經(jīng)計(jì)劃安排空運(yùn)了。

The presidential election is not due until late May. But already, a wave of panic has spread in Burundi, and people are running from their homes, often taking nothing with them. The UN Refugee Agency says those who fled, speak of insecurity and forced recruitment by a pro-government youth group, which has been accused of politically motivated violence. Burundi's ruling party is said to announce over the weekend whether the incumbent president Pierre Mkurunziza will be a candidate for a third term in power. Opponents say it would be illegal for him to run again.

總統(tǒng)大選5月下旬才開始，但是布隆迪恐慌已經(jīng)蔓延開來，人們什么都顧不上帶就匆匆逃離了家鄉(xiāng)。聯(lián)合國(guó)難民機(jī)構(gòu)稱這些逃離的人群被一個(gè)親政府青年黨組織被迫招募，該組織被指控有煽動(dòng)政治暴力的動(dòng)機(jī)。布隆迪執(zhí)政黨據(jù)稱將會(huì)在周末的時(shí)候宣布現(xiàn)任總統(tǒng)Pierre Mkurunziza能否會(huì)成為第三屆總統(tǒng)候選人。反對(duì)者稱Pierre Mkurunziza再次當(dāng)選總統(tǒng)的行為是違法行為。
