周五,控制财政制裁的美国财政部宣布取消公民、公司和银行向叙利亚全国革命联盟和反对派军队提供资金的制裁。尽管制裁法依然不变,但目前美国政府希望随心所欲,在不输送武器的条件下向叛军提供援助。财政部在声明中称叙利亚政府在试图抓紧权力的暴力活动中已丧失了合法性。美国还表示将向反对派武装分子直接提供医疗装备和食物。
The Vatican has rejected as defamatory allegations that Pope Francis did not do enough to protect two priests in his native Argentina during the country’s military dictatorship more than 30 years ago. Here’s James Robbins.
有诽谤指控称弗朗西斯教皇30多年前在本国阿根廷军事独裁期间未尽力保护两名牧师,梵蒂冈对此表示不赞成。James Robbins报道。
The Vatican has responded to allegations that Pope Francis much earlier in his life as a senior Jesuit priest failed to protect two fellow Jesuits who were kidnapped. The Vatican says there has never been accusation that was concrete or credible. In a statement the Vatican said he had tried to protect people during the so-called Dirty War under military dictatorship in the late 1970s and early 1980s in Argentina. Later as a bishop, he had promoted the whole cause of reconciliation. The Vatican has accused what it called a left-wing publication of bias and of pursuing an anti-clerical campaign.
