Ahmed Ben Bella spent most of Algeria's long and bloody independence war inside a French prison. He gave political direction, but escaped blame for military mistakes. And on independence in 1962, he became Algeria's first elected prime minister and the following year, its first elected president. Once in power though, not all Ben Bella's policies were popular. And in 1965, he was overthrown and jailed. After more years in detention, Ben Bella went into exile in Switzerland. In 1990, he made a dramatic return to Algeria, but Ben Bella was already old, and he eventually went back into exile.

在阿尔及利亚漫长血腥的独立战争中，Ahmed Ben Bella大多数时间都在法国监狱度过。他给出了政治方向，但摆脱了军事罪责。1962年阿尔及利亚刚独立，他就成了该国首位当选的总理，并于第二年成为首位当选总统。尽管一度在位，Ben Bella的政策并不都受欢迎。1965年，他被推翻并入狱。囚禁多年后他被流放瑞士，1990年，他戏剧性地回到阿尔及利亚，但他已经年老，最终仍继续流放生涯。

Nine Peruvian copper miners who've been trapped underground since last Thursday have been brought safely to the surface. Witnesses said the men left the mine one by one at around 7:00 in the morning local time. They had been trapped in a tunnel about 200 metres below the surface when the small informal copper and gold mine partially collapsed. The accident has prompted calls for closer regulation.
