| MNLA rebels say military operations over in northern Mali Posted: BAMAKO (Reuters) - Mali's MNLA separatist rebels have declared the end of military operations and called on the international community to protect their newly created "Azawad" state on the edge of the Sahara, according to a statement on the group's website www.mnlamov.net. The rebels, acting alongside Islamist forces who want to impose sharia, or Islamic law, swept through northern Mali last week, pushing government forces from Kidal, Gao and Timbuktu, the three northern regions of Mali that the MNLA says will form the new state.

| Japan rushes to restart reactors to avoid total shutdown Posted: TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's government is racing to get two nuclear reactors, idled after the Fukushima crisis, running again by next month out of what experts say is fear that a total shutdown would make it hard to convince a wary public that atomic power is vital. Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and three cabinet ministers are to meet on Thursday to discuss the possible restarts of the No. 3 and No. 4 reactors at Kansai Electric Power Co's Ohi plant in Fukui, western Japan - a region dubbed the "nuclear arcade" for the string of atomic plants that dot its coast. ... |
