Niger says it needs help policing more than six million square meters of desert along its border with Libya. Some members of the former government in Tripoli have fled south to Niger, including one of Moammar Gadhafi's sons.
尼日尔官方表示，他们为了巡逻北部和利比亚交界的广大地区，须要援助。因为利比亚前政府的一些官员曾经在这里越过边界，进入尼日尔。这些人员包括卡扎菲的一个儿子。
Justice Minister Marou Amadou says it is an explosive situation as members of the ousted 1 Gadhafi government flee fighters backing Libya's interim 2 ruling council.
尼日尔司法部长阿马杜说，由于已被推翻的卡扎菲政府的逃脱空军战机支持利比亚的过渡委员会，这里的情势具有爆炸性。
Amadou says Niger needs aerial surveillance, good intelligence and information. All of that costs a lot of money for a poor and indebted country such as Niger, which perennially 3 suffers from food crises.
阿马杜说，尼日尔需要空中侦察设备，良好的情报和资讯系统。这对于贫穷，负债而且常年处于粮食危机的尼日尔来说，是一笔庞大的支出。
Under house arrest
Gadhafi's former security chief and one of his sons, along with at least two former generals, have all crossed the border into Niger on what the government calls humanitarian 4 grounds.
前卡扎菲的安全首长和他的一个儿子，以及至少还有两名前军方将领，已经越过边境，根据尼日尔政府的人道原则，进入尼日尔。
Gadhafi's son Saadi is now under a kind of house arrest in the capital, Niamey.
卡扎菲的儿子萨迪，目前在尼日尔首都尼亚美受到软禁。
Too costly 5
Justice Minister Amadou says the expense of increased patrols along the northern border is holding back the development agenda of Niger's new civilian 6 government. And at the same time, the flow of arms across the Sahel could further destabilize a region where al-Qaida-affiliated terrorists are already active.
阿马杜部长说，为了增强北部边境巡逻而增加的经费，拖累了尼日尔新文人政府原订的开发计划。同时，遍布西非洲萨赫勒地区的武装份子，也可能进一步造成这个基地组织活跃地区情势的不稳。
Amadou says even before the fighting in Libya, the border situation was difficult for Niger. It is well known that al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb is operating across the Sahel from Mauritania to Algeria, Niger and Mali. Amadou says security is further complicated by drug trafficking, banditry, and kidnapping in an area that the government of Niger cannot control.
阿马杜说，即使在利比亚骚乱发生之前，边界地区的情势已经是尼日尔政府的一大难题。众所周知，伊斯兰马格里布的基地组织在萨赫勒地区活动，包括从毛里塔尼亚到阿尔及利亚，尼日尔和马里。阿马杜说，再加上毒品贩运，盗匪和绑架等现象，使这个地区的安全问题更为复杂。这些都是尼日尔政府无力控制的。
