| Video Discription | 2012/11/25 VOA Special English News for November 25, 2012 A group of African leaders met Saturday to try to end the crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They called on rebels to, in their words, "stop all war activities" and withdraw from the city of Goma. The rebels captured the city earlier this week. The African leaders also called on the rebels to stop talking about ousting the government. The presidents of Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and the DRC met in the Ugandan capital, Kampala. The Rwandan president, Paul Kagame, did not attend but his foreign minister did. The United Nations has accused Rwanda of supporting the rebels in the DRC. It denies the charges. Mauritania's President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz has returned home from France for the first time since being wounded by one of his own soldiers last month. Thousands of people gathered at the airport Saturday to greet him on his return to the capital, Nouakchott. Many people also stood on the side of the street that runs between the airport and the presidential palace. Mr Abdel Aziz waved to them but he did not speak. He had been in France for the last six weeks, receiving treatment after soldiers fired on his vehicle. The government said the shooting was accidental. But that version has been questioned. Mr Abdel Aziz seized power in 2008 in a country with a long history of governments being ousted. He won the 2009 presidential election. President Ernest Koroma of Sierra Leone has been sworn into office for a second term. He won re-election last week. He promised to fight corruption and attract foreign investors. Egyptian democracy activist and Nobel Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei has called on Egypt's president to cancel new powers that he gave himself on Thursday. Mr ElBaradei spoke to people gathered in Tahrir Square in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, on Saturday. President Mohamed Morsi said he was giving himself powers that could not be reviewed by judges. The powers would also protect his Islamist supporters in parliament. Pakistani officials say a bomb explosion near a minority Shiite religious observance Saturday killed at least seven people including three children. At least 30 people were injured. The attack happened in the city of Dera Ismail Khan near the South Waziristan tribal area. Pakistan has temporarily suspended wireless telephone service in major cities to prevent such bombings. Explosions are often set off by cellular telephones. |
