After months of intense western pressure, the main Syrian opposition group in exile has voted to attend next week's peace conference in Geneva. The issue of whether to attend the talks has split the coalition with many reluctant to go unless President Bashar al-Assad is excluded from any proposed transitional Syrian government. Jim Muir reports.

经过几个月来西方国家的施压，叙利亚主要流亡反对组织终于投票决定参加下周在日内瓦举行的和谈。在是否参加会谈这个问题上，该组织内部出现了分歧，很多人不愿意参加，除非不允许总统巴沙尔·阿萨德进入任何拟议的临时政府。吉姆·缪尔报道。

The western powers who support the Syrian opposition will be relieved of the coalition's general assembly finally came up with the vote in favor of going to Geneva-II as the peace talks have been called. But it's less than the resounding display of unanimity and unity that the advocates of the process have been hoping for. While the “Yes”vote of 58 made up a substantial majority of the 73 who took part. It's less than half of the 120-strong general assembly. That means that substantial parts of the coalition stayed away in disapproval of the venture.

听闻反对派联盟大会终于投票支持参加日内瓦第二次会议，支持叙利亚反对派的西方国家松了一口气，而这也是和谈所要求的。但并没有出现和谈倡议者所希望看到的全体一致和团结局面，在73名投票者中有58人表示赞成，占绝对多数，但在120名全体大会成员中不到一半，这就意味着该联盟的相当大部分人仍然不支持参加会谈。

The director of BBC Global News Peter Horrocks described Kolma as a leading light of African journalism.

“His voice was one of the most distinctive on the BBC.”

“他的声音是BBC主持人中最有个性的一个。”

“Hello, everyone I'm Kolma Dumor, welcome to focus on Africa, here are our top stories tonight.”

“大家好，我是Kolma Dumor，欢迎关注非洲，下面是我们今晚的头条新闻。”

“Kolma Dumor was a big man in every way. Big-hearted, a talented broadcaster with the winning smile. I first met him in Ghana in 2007 when he'd just joined the BBC's Africa service. I noticed even then, how young Ghanaian journalists looked up to him. He never flinched from asking tough questions, but also loved to share a laugh. Kolma was admired across the BBC's Global audiences, but most of all, Africans celebrated his success. Last year, he was named one of the 100 most influential people on the continent by New African magazine. Kolma had many loves, including football, his faith, his family. He often said, ‘I just love talking with people.’We'll miss hearing from him.

“Kolma Dumor是个很棒的人，他是一位内心慷慨、有才华的播音员，脸上都是带着迷人的微笑。我第一次见到他是在2007年，那是在加纳，当时他刚进入BBC的非洲栏目，我注意到当时年轻的加纳记者们都很尊敬他，他从来不害怕问刁难的问题，但也喜欢分享笑声。Kolma受到BBC全球听众的欣赏，但最重要的是，非洲人欣赏他的成功。去年，他被新非洲杂志评选为100名最具影响力人物之一。Kolma有很多爱好，他喜欢足球，有信仰，热爱家庭。他经常说的话是，‘我喜欢与人交谈。’”我们会想念他的。

Egypt's military-backed government has got what it wanted, an overwhelming and entirely,unsurprising“Yes”vote. The result is a return to the 90% plus votes of the Mubarak years.

The “Yes” votes will now be followed by presidential and parliamentary elections.

埃及军方支持的政府得偿所愿，取得压倒性的投票支持。这次的支持度相当于穆巴拉克时代90%以上的支持率，但投票率更能说明问题。这次的投票率是33%，比2012年穆斯林兄弟会执政时的宪法公投33%的投票率高。这次投票后将举行总统和议会选举。
