The White House says the United States will open direct peace talks with the Taliban in the next few days. The meeting will take place in Qatar where the Afghan rebels have opened a long-awaited first official overseas office. However, President Obama sounded a note of caution about the talks.
白宫称美国未来几天将与塔利班进行公开的直接和谈。会议将在卡塔尔举行,阿富汗叛军已在这里设立了被期待已久的首个官方海外办公室。然而,总统奥巴马对和谈发出警告。
“We don’t anticipate this process will be easy or quick but we must pursue it in parallel with our military approach and we in the meantime remain fully committed to our military efforts to defeat al-Qaeda and to support the Afghan national security forces.”
我们认为这个进程不会很容易,也不会很快完成,但我们会在坚持军事途径的同时实施这个进程。我们同时还会完全致力于军队的努力打败基地组织,支持阿富汗国家安全部队。
But a Taliban spokesman said it had met all the pre-conditions that the US set.
但塔利班发言人称本组织已满足美国之前所说的全部前提条件。
“The Islamic Emirate neither wants to pose harms to other countries from its soil nor will allow anyone to pose a threat to the security of countries from the soil of Afghanistan.”
伊斯兰酋长国既不想从本土对他国构成危害,也不会允许任何人从阿富汗本土对各国的安全构成威胁。

The Americans say they expect to hold their first formal meeting with the Taliban in a couple of days to be followed shortly afterwards by direct talks between the Taliban and members of President Hamid Karzai’s High Peace Council. “The talks will succeed”, the Americans say, “When and if the Taliban finally sever all ties with al-Qaeda, end violence and accept the Afghan constitution.” Senior administration officials are calling this an important moment but an urging caution, too. In the words of one, the road towards Afghan reconciliation will be complex and messy.
美国称希望未来几天内与塔利班举行首次正式会议,此前塔利班和总统哈米德•卡尔扎伊的高级和平委员会成员刚刚完成直接对话。美国人说会谈将会取得成功,前提是塔利班最终切断与基地组织的联系,结束暴力,接受阿富汗宪法。高级政府官员称这是个重要时机,但同时警告说,通往阿富汗和解之路将是复杂又麻烦的。
The government in Mali has finally signed a deal with Tuareg separatist rebels to take back control of a last major town they occupy in the north. Under the deal the Malian troops will regain control of Kidal ahead of next month’s presidential elections. Islamist militants together with Tuareg separatists took control of more than half of Mali’s territory last year before being ousted by French forces assisted by a West African force.

The British Prime Minister David Cameron says G8 leaders meeting in Northern Ireland have overcome a fundamental difference to agree on a way forward in Syria. He said all sides had pledged to step up their humanitarian response and maximize the diplomatic pressure through a negotiated solution.
英国首相戴维•卡梅伦说,与会北爱尔兰的八国集团领袖们克服了根本差异,在叙利亚未来问题上达成一致。他说各方都承诺采取人道主义措施,通过协商途径施加最大的外交压力。
“We have achieved a very strong and purposeful statement on Syria that includes things that I wouldn’t have expected two days ago, that includes, for instance, there should be a UN investigation into chemical weapons used in Syria and that should go ahead signed up by everyone including Vladimir Putin. So I didn’t believe any price has been paid, quite the opposite, I think we have a very strong statement about what needs to happen in Syria.” David Cameron
我们在叙利亚问题上达成强有力的、有决心的声明,包括两天前我没想到的事情。比如,包括联合国对叙利亚的化学武器使用进行调查,包括弗拉基米尔•普京在内的与会者都签署了协议。因此,我认为没有费很大的力气,与此相反,我认为我们在如何处理叙利亚问题上做出了有力的声明。戴维•卡梅伦。
The agreement makes no mention of the divisive issue of what should happen to President Assad. The Russian President Vladimir Putin again warned against arming the opposition.
协议没有提及如何处理总统阿萨德,俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔•普京再次警告向反对派提供武器。
