A United Nation's effort to bring the warring parties in Yemen together for talks has ended without managing to get the Houthi rebel delegation 6 to attend. The UN's envoy 7 Martin Griffiths refused to say exactly why the Houthi, also called Ansar Allah, hadn't come to the meeting in Geneva, but insisted a start had been made on the journey to peace. There was every effort made on the part of Ansar Allah themselves to come here. They wanted to come here; they want to come here; they will come here. This is also absolutely true of efforts by the United Nation's other governments to get them here. We just didn't make it. There were issues of how to get here and we just weren't able to resolve that the time available. This is not the first time we've had difficulties of logistics in the Yemen context, and once we get through the gate, we'll get some progress.
联合国想要通过召集也门境内的冲突方进行会谈,但却因为胡塞武装代表团未能参加而取消。联合国代表马丁·格里菲思拒绝说明胡塞武装,也被叫作真主信徒没能参加日内瓦会议的原因,但坚称和平进程已经开始。胡塞武装为了参加会议也做出了努力。他们之前有参会的想法,现在也想来,未来也一定会来。联合国的其他成员国为了促成他们参会也付出了努力,只是没有成功而已。他们如何到达这里存在问题,我们没能找到一个合适的时间。我们不止一次遇到也门后勤问题,只要跨过这道门槛,我们就会取得进展。
The Afghan government has announced measures to increase security for the Shia minority in the capital Kabul who are being increasingly targeted in sectarian violence. It comes at the start of the religious month of Muharram when Shias traditionally gather in public and are vulnerable to attack. Here is Jill McGivering. Sectarian violence is relatively 8 new in Afghanistan, but increasingly the country is seeing mass attacks on the Shia minority with mosques 9 and shrines 10 and now also community centres being targeted. Last month's assault on a tuition centre which killed 34 students was particularly shocking. President Carney is under pressure to do something. He says he'll create a special security zone in Western Kabul with extra security personnel and checkpoints and give guns and training to guards of Shia religious and other centers. BBC news.
