Hillary Clinton met Field Marshal Tantawi for an hour with very much the same massage she had on Saturday for president Mursi. The United States supports and encourages a smooth transition to democracy. Then the meetings with Christian leaders and with women, Mrs. Clinton urged respect for the rights of all Egyptians. A sensitive issue right now as some Egyptians view nervously the rest power of the Muslim Brotherhood. Finally, on the trip to Alexandria to open a new US consulate, the Secretary of State insisted she was not yet to try to pick winners and losers.
克林顿与陆军元帅坦塔维会谈了一小时,所传达的信息与周六她与总统穆尔西会谈的内容一样,美国支持并鼓励向民主平稳过渡。随后克林顿与基督教领袖和女性会面,她敦促尊重所有埃及人的权利,在如今一些埃及人紧张地盯着穆斯林兄弟组织的剩余权力之时,这是个敏感的话题。最后,克林顿访问亚历山大港,准备在那里建立美国新使馆,国务卿强调,她还没有确定赢家和失败者。
Reports from the African Union summit in Addis Ababa say the presidents of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo have agreed that the international force should patrol their border and neutralize the various rebel militias active in Congo. The two leaders, Paul Kagame and Joseph Kabila early held a rare face to face talk at the summit. Recent rebel advances in eastern Congo have led to thousands of displaced civilians. The Congolese government has accused Rwanda of directly helping the rebels but the government in Kigali denies this.
