The whole issue of Pakistan's Afghan migrants is highly sensitive. During decades of instability Pakistan, like Iran, opened its borders to millions of Afghans, accepting them as refugees. Since 2002 they have started to go back on a voluntary basis. Almost four million have returned, but 1.7 million with a refugee status remain, and there's frustration in Pakistan that the rate of return has fallen.
巴基斯坦的阿富汗移民问题非常敏感。与伊朗类似,巴基斯坦在动荡的几十年间向数百人阿富汗人打开了边境线,接受这些难民。2002年以来,这些难民开始自发回国。将近4百万人回国了,但仍有1.7百万难民留在巴基斯坦,令巴基斯坦感到郁闷的是,回国的难民比率在下降。
The former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir has died. He was 96 and had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Mr Shamir served as prime minister in the 80s and 90s. Born in Russia he was a member of a Zionist militant group before Israeli independence and later worked in the country's intelligence service. Mr Shamir's political career began in the 70s in the ranks of the right-wing Likud party, where he gained a reputation as a hardliner who opposed many peace initiatives.
