尼日利亚总统古德勒克·乔纳森公开讲话,首次提及三周前该国东北部200多名女学生被绑架一事。乔纳森承诺解救目前仍被绑架的学生,BBC驻豪萨分支机构记者曼苏尔·黎曼报道。


The president hasn't been given any detail on what the government is doing, he said the government is doing its best and will continue to do its best.

So, this is a problem now, I think the Nigerians while looking before the broadcast to hear something in news, whether there is a new operation or anything else but there isn't anything in the broadcast to suggest that the government is going to do something even more than what it has been done before.


总统并未透露政府在做什么,他说政府在尽最大努力并将继续做到最好。他说政府使用飞机和直升机来确定这些女孩的位置,但尚未找到她们。因此这就是个问题,我想尼日利亚人在听广播关注新闻,看是否有新行动之类的发生,但广播并未透露政府要做比以前更多的努力。
