President Goodluck Jonathan was attending a Remembrance Day church service when he delivered his comments on the country's worsening security situation. For the first time, he conceded there were members and supporters of Boko Haram - which is fighting for Sharia law across Nigeria - in his government, the military, police and security services. The president added that the battle with militant Islamists is more complicated than the civil war 46 years ago when more than a million people died.

阿拉伯联盟外长会议在开罗称,尽管有人批评该观察团未能阻止政府杀害叙利亚平民,阿盟赴叙利亚观察团将继续开展工作。下面是我们驻开罗记者Jon Leyne报道。

The ministers examined criticism that the mission has done little to end the violence against civilians in Syria. But so far the decision has been to continue. The Arab League secretary general insisted that the number of people killed had been reduced by the presence of observers, though the statement from the league afterwards called on the Syrian government to do more to protect civilians.

He said the local Murle population was drifting back to the town from which they had fled. MSF has now contacted all but 47 of its staff who'd run into the bush to escape the conflict.
