BRAZIL KUONGEZA NGUVU KATIKA KIKOSI DRC

Umoja wa Mataifa umemteua Generali mmoja raia wa Brazil ambaye anasifika kwa kudhibiti mtaa mmoja wa mabanda nchini Haiti kutokanamana na vurugu kuweza kuwaongoza walinda amani wa Umoja wa Mataifa katika Jamuhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo.

Generali Carlos Alberto dos Santos Cruz ataongoza kikosi cha wanajeshi 20,000, ikiwemo kikosi kipya cha wanajeshi kitakachopambana na waasi mashariki mwa nchi.

Hii ndio mara ya kwanza kwa Umoja wa mataifa kukabidhi kikosi cha wanajeshi nguvu kuweza kupambana na waasi.

Generali Santos Cruz, aliambia BBC kuwa wanajeshi wake, watafunzwa namna watakavyo pambana na waasi bila kuwajeruhi raia na kuharibu mali nchini Congo.

"eneo tete zaidi siku hizi ni Mashariki mwa nchi,'' Cruz alimbia BBC

"niko tayari kukabiliana, na hali ngumu zaidi. Lengo kuu ni kuwaondolea hali ngumu wanayokabiliana nayo watu wa Congo.''

KURA ZA MAONI KUPIGWA JUU YA AMANI NCHINI MALI

Baraza la usalama la Umoja wa Mataifa linatarajiwa kupigia kura azimio linalopendekeza kuundwa kwa kikosi cha kulinda amani nchini Mali.

Kikosi hicho chenye wanajeshi 12,600 kinajumuisha takriban wanajeshi 6,000 kutoka nchi za Magharibi mwa Afrika ambazo tayari zina wanajeshi wao nchini humo.

Azimio hilo limependekezwa na Ufaransa ambayo iliingilia kati mzozo wa Mali mnamo mwezi Januari ili kupambana na wapiganaji wa kiisilamu Kaskazini mwa nchi hiyo.

Kikosi hicho kinatarajiwa kwenda Mali mwanzoni mwa mwezi Julai kabla ya uchaguzi mkuu.

30 WAFARIKI KATIKA JENGO LA GHOROFA 8 KUPOROMOKA BANGLADESH

Vikosi vya uokoaji vinasema, watu wapatao 30 wamefariki dunia na mamia wengine wanahofiwa kukwama baada ya jingo la ghorofa nane kuporomoka katika mji mkuu wa Bangladesh, Dhaka.

Juhudi za ziada zinaendelea kuwaokoa watu walionaswa kwenye kifusi. Watu wapatao 200 wamejeruhiwa kufuatia ajali hiyo. Jeshi linasaidia shughuli za uokoaji katika eneo la tukio nje kidogo ya jiji la Dhaka.

Matukio ya majengo kuporomoka nchini Bangladesh ni ya kawaida kutokana na majengo mengi marefu kujengwa kinyume na sheria za ujenzi.

Jengo lililoporomoka lilikuwa na kiwanda cha nguo, benki na maduka kadhaa. Liliporomoka asubuhi wakati watu wakielekea makazini.

Watu wengi wamekusanyika karibu na eneo la tukio wakiwatafuta ndugu na marafiki. Mwandishi wa BBC mjini Dhaka anasema haijafahamika kilichosababisha jengo hilo kuporomoka, lakini vyombo vya habari nchini humo vimearifu kwamba, nyufa zilionekana kwenye jengo hilo siku ya Jumanne.

UBAROZI WA UFARANSA LIBYA WALIPULIWA

Bomu limelipuka nje ya ubalozi wa Ufaransa katika mji mkuu wa Libya, Tripoli na kuwajeruhi walinzi wawili huku ikisababisha uharibifu mkubwa. 

Mlipuko huo ulisababisha uharibifu katika sehemu moja ya ofisi hizo na pia kuharibu nyumba jirani.

Mwandishi wa BBC mjini Tripoli, Rana Jawad anasema kuwa inaaminika kuwa mlipuko huo ulisababishwa na gari lililokuwa na mabomu.

Aliongeza kwamba shambulizi hilo lililenga nchi za kigeni zinazopambana dhidi ya ugaidi.

Balozi za kigeni nchini Libya zimewahi kushambuliwa katika siku za nyuma, lakini hili ndilo shambulizi la kwanza kubwa dhidi ya ubalozi wa kigeni mjini Tripoli.
