1.So the conclusion of the Israeli inquiry that neither the government nor the commandos who boarded the flotilla were at fault has received a predictably negative response here.

这句话的主干是:the conclusion has received a predictably negative response。that neither the government...是conclusion的同位语从句。

neither…nor…,其意为“既不…也不…”、“…和…都不”:
  I have neither time nor money. 我既无时间又无钱。
  I neither smoke nor drink. 我既不抽烟也不喝酒。
  He neither knows nor cares what happened. 他对所发生的事不闻不问。
  This is neither my fault nor yours. 这既不怪我,也不怪你。
  【注】通常应连接两个相同性质的句子成分,但有时后一成分可能省略与前一成分相同的词。若连接两个成分作主语,其谓语通常与靠近的主语保持一致:
  Mary neither likes maths nor (likes) history. 玛丽既不喜欢数学也不喜欢历史。
  Neither Jim and Jack was at home. 吉姆和杰克都不在家。
  但在非正式文体中也可一律用复数:
  Neither Jim and Jack were at home. 吉姆和杰克都不在家。

2.There are still many problems to resolve, including the border region Abyei and tricky issues like resources, legal matters and citizenship.

problems to resolve不定式后置定语

当不定式与所修饰词有动宾关系同时又与本句中的另一个名词或代词构成主谓关系时,可用不定式的主动形式to do表示被动含义。如:

Mr.Smith,I have some questions to ask.史密斯先生,我有一些问题要问。(不定式to ask的动作执行者是主语I)

Please give me somebooks to read.请给我一些书读。(不定式to read的动作执行者是句中的me)

但:I'm going to the post office;do you have anything to be sent?我要去邮局,你有什么要寄的东西吗?(此句中send这个动作不是句中you发出的,所以用了被动)
