Thousands of Libyans have staged a rally in Tripoli to denounce moves by leaders in the east to create a semi-autonomous territory. Demonstrators chanted slogans demanding unity and, in a show of disdain, used their shoes to hit photographs of Ahmed Zubair al-Senussi, the head of the regional council seeking a split. Gabriel Gatehouse was at the demonstration.
数千名利比亚人在的黎波里集会谴责东部领导人企图建立半自治区的行动,游行者高呼口号要求同意,还用鞋子踢打企图制造分裂的地区委员会领导人Ahmed Zubair al-Senussi的照片。Gabriel Gatehouse在游行现场报道。
Well, there must be several thousand people here in Martyrs Square, and their slogans make it all perfectly clear. "Libya United", "No, No to Federalism", they are chanting. The declaration earlier this week of a semi-autonomous state in the east in Cyrenaica is really exciting the passions here, and not just here, there are demonstrations taking place in cities across the country.
烈士广场上的游行者已有数千名,他们的口号讲的清楚明白,他们高呼“统一利比亚”、“对联邦制度说不”。本周早些时候,东部昔兰尼加宣布为半自治州,由此惹恼了这些游行者,不仅如此,整个利比亚的许多城市都在游行示威。
The Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos has said the participation of Greece's private sector creditors in the country's multi-billion euro bond swap exceeded all expectations. Under the deal, more than 100bn of Greece's debt would be written off. The eurozone finance ministers announced that Greece had met the conditions to receive around $47bn.
