The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has visited the Somali capital Mogadishu, promising1 to open an embassy to help distribute aid to the victims of severe drought in the Horn of Africa. Mr Erdogan also announced that Turkey would rebuild the road to Mogadishu airport, restore a hospital, build schools and drill water wells.

"We were deeply saddened by the situation of the children in the two camps we visited. We are here to hear your voice more closely. We are here with our ministers, deputies, businessmen, businesswomen, artists and NGOs. We want to let the world know about your situation with this visit. Actually this is not a problem of Turkey; this is a problem of humanity."
“看到我们访问的两座难民营中儿童的状况，我们感到非常伤心。我们来到这里是为了更近距离的倾听你们的声音。我们的部长，副部长，商人，艺术家和非政府组织都来到这里。我们想通过这次访问让全世界了解你们的状况。实际上，这并不是土耳其的问题，这是人道主义的问题。”
Mr Erdogan's visit was the first by a leader from outside Africa in almost 20 years.

The International Organisation2 for Migration3 says it's planning an operation to evacuate4 thousands of foreigners from the Libyan capital Tripoli as fighting gets closer to the city. The rebels say they've launched a new assault on the town of Zlitan, east of Tripoli. Imogen Foulkes reports.
国际移民组织表示，随着战争不断逼近利比亚首都的黎波里，他们正在计划采取行动疏散这座城市的数千名外国人。叛军表示，他们对的黎波里东部城镇利坦发动了新的进攻。Imogen Foulkes报道。
The IOM said it is working on an evacuation plan from Tripoli, but it will be an extremely challenging operation politically as well as logistically. The most likely option is an evacuation by sea, but to get evacuees5 safely onto ships will almost certainly require the agreement of all those fighting around the city, and that may be difficult.
国际移民组织表示，他们正在制定的黎波里疏散计划，但是这无论在政治方面还是后勤方面都将是一项极端艰难的任务。最可能的选择是从海上疏散，但是要将被疏散人员安全地转移到船上要求这座城市战争各方的同意，这是非常困难的。
A Colombian peace campaigner and former senator, Piedad Cordoba, has left the country after receiving death threats. Ms Cordoba has negotiated the release of a number of hostages held by the left-wing rebel group, the Farc, but the Colombian government accused her of helping6 the rebels. Vanessa Buschschluter reports.
哥伦比亚一名和平运动分子，前参议员Piedad Cordoba受到死亡威胁之后离开国家。Piedad Cordoba曾经参与释放左翼哥伦比亚武装力量劫持的几名人质的谈判。但是哥伦比亚政府指控她帮助叛军。Vanessa Buschschluter报道。
Piedad Cordoba is a controversial figure in Colombia, an outspoken7 advocate for peace talks with the country's left-wing rebel groups. She has in the past managed to convince the Farc to unilaterally release some of its hostages. But her negotiations8 with the rebels have also earned her sharp criticism, especially when she conducted some of them without the government's blessing9, a move for which she was banned from public office for 18 years. It's not the first time she's been threatened, but her lawyer said this time she received information about an imminent10 plan to kill her.
Piedad Cordoba在哥伦比亚是具有争议的人物。她是与左翼反叛分子进行和平对话的直言不讳的拥护者。她过去曾经成功劝服Farc释放几名人质。但是她与叛军的谈判也使她受到严厉的批评，尤其是她在没有政府同意的情况下采取行动。因为她的举动，她被禁止担任公职18年的时间。这并不是她第一次受到威胁，但是她的律师表示，这次她收到消息，有人计划立即将她杀害。

Activists15 in Syria say the security forces have killed at least 20 people as thousands of anti-government protesters took to the streets, despite President Assad's assurance that military operations had stopped. They said most of the deaths were in Deraa province. Jim Muir reports from Beirut.
This was one of several suburbs of the capital Damascus where demonstrations16 broke out after Friday prayers and were met with gunfire from security forces. At least two people were reported killed in the suburbs, more in Homs - the country's third biggest city. But the majority of the killings17, according to activists, were in three towns close to the city of Deraa, in the far south, where the uprising began five long months ago. The government had a different version of events. It said that gunmen opened fire in several places both on worshippers and on security forces, killing at least two policemen.
