超过80名易受袭击民众从被围困的叙利亚城市霍姆斯叛军占领地区撤离。根据与政府达成的停火协议，预期几百名老弱妇孺将被护送离开该地区。Jim Muir报道。

Looking weary and worn, the mainly elderly men and women who are first to leave the embattled old quarter of Homs were kept well away from the press. All together, there were 3 bus loads of evacuees. The total number for the day was well below the 200 that was initially expected. Day 2 of this operation will see the focus shift in the other direction, getting release supplies into the rebel held quarter. Relief officials see that as the real challenge, given government reluctance to see aid going to enemy areas.

第一批撤离霍姆斯被围困地区的大部分是老人和妇女，他们看上去疲惫不堪，远离媒体视野。撤离者共装满了三辆巴士，总人数远远低于最初预期的200人。行动的第二天将主要集中在其他方面，向叛军占领地区运送补给品。救助官员认为这是非常艰巨的挑战，因为政府不情愿看到救助物资运往敌占区。

They are furious about the state of Bosnia's economy. The prosperous future they hope for after the conflict of the 90s never arrived. And it seems like nobody is listening.

沮丧情绪已经酝酿了很长时间，现在终于爆发。这更像是对多年的惰性和无能做出的反应。他们对波斯尼亚的经济状况感到愤怒。90年代的冲突过后他们希望的繁荣的未来一直没有到来。而且似乎没人倾听他们的心声。

But not Mongolia, the president added, rather enviously, that nation doesn't have the suffix stan, and yet foreigners, he said, are so interested in Mongolia. So to stand out from all the stans, the president is proposing a name-change.

本周，纳扎尔巴耶夫(Nursultan Nazarbayev)总统表示，众所周知，哈萨克斯坦以“斯坦”两个字结尾，就像该地区其他贫困国家一样，例如塔吉克斯坦，土库曼斯坦和阿富汗。他非常羡慕地表示，蒙古的国名却没有这个后缀。然而，外国人对蒙古非常感兴趣。所以，为了与其他国家区分，这位总统建议为国家更名。
