由于重开北约至阿富汗供给线的谈判失败，美国从巴基斯坦撤回谈判者。由于美军在一处前哨战误杀24名巴基斯坦士兵，巴基斯坦于去年关闭了卡拉奇至阿富汗的供给线。Kim Ghattas在华盛顿报道。

The talks started seven weeks ago and have been marred by other issues like American drone attacks, Pakistani pride and a general history of mistrust between the two countries. Pakistan has also been asking for $5,000 for each of the 5,000 trucks that made the journey on average before the closing. But traffic is expected to increase when troops start departing Afghanistan. In the meantime, Nato has reached a deal to bypass Pakistan and transport military equipment out through central Asian countries like Uzbekistan.

对话于7周前开始，由于诸如美国无人机袭击、巴基斯坦尊严及两国历史上一贯的不信任等问题而失败。在关闭路线之前，巴基斯坦还要求向平均通过的5000辆卡车每辆征收5000美元的费用。但随着军队离开阿富汗，通行的车辆会增加。同时，北约已签署协议，绕过巴基斯坦，经由诸如乌兹别克斯坦等中亚国家来运送军事物资。

Next month's summit of the African Union has been moved to Ethiopia after Malawi last week refused to host the gathering. Malawi said it didn't want the Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to come to the summit, because he's wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court. Mary Harper reports.
