博科圣地恐怖组织威胁到喀麦隆的学校
From VOA Learning English, this is the Education Report.
这里是美国之音慢速英语教育报道。
The school year has begun in Cameroon. But thousands of students and teachers are fleeing their schools in towns that border Nigeria's Borno state. The state is the home of the Boko Haram terrorist group.
喀麦隆学校的新学年已经开始了,但是尼日利亚博尔诺州附近的一些城镇里的学校,成千上万的师生正在逃离他们的学校。该州是博科圣地恐怖组织的老巢。
One thousand children were expected to start classes in government schools in the border town of Kolofata. But only a few arrived.
有1000名学生原本被安排在边境城镇Kolofata的公立学校里上学,但是只有少数学生来到学校。
Seventeen-year-old Foncha Rene was one of those who did come to school. He says Boko Haram attacks in the area have frightened away other students. Recent armed conflict between the Nigerian Boko Haram rebels and Cameroon soldiers collapsed the school's walls.
17岁的Foncha Rene是这些到校学生中的一员,他称,博科圣地恐怖组织已经吓跑了其他学生。最近,尼日利亚博科圣地叛军和喀麦隆士兵之间的武装冲突已经导致学校的墙壁坍塌。
Pamela Singeth works at the government school in Kolofata. She spoke to VOA while taking refuge in a military camp. "I cannot advise any child to go to school in the border zone because it is dangerous. Look at some classrooms that have been destroyed by Boko Haram. They even come here to pray, so I would not allow or advise any child to go to school in this area."
Pamela Singeth在Kolofata公立学校任职,她在一所军营避难所时对美国之音记者称,“我并不建议任何边境地区的孩子去上学,因为太危险了,我们可以看到那些被博科圣地恐怖组织破坏的教室,那些恐怖分子甚至到这里来祈祷,所以我并不建议或不考虑让孩子们去上学。”
Like Kolofata, Mora is also a town on the border with Borno State. Seven hundred students were expected at school there. But only 100 students appeared. And those who arrived found more than 2,000 Nigerian refugees in their school building.
和Kolofata镇一样,Mora也是博尔诺州边境的一个小镇,那里的学校本来应该有700名学生应该到校,但是只来了100名学生。而这些到校的学生们还发现,有2000多名学生在他们的学校避难。
Babila Akao serves as an administrative official for the area. He says, "People are suffering; the situation is a bad situation." He says he is asking the Ministry of Education to postpone the start of the school year.
作为该地区行政官员的Babila Akao称,“人们正在受苦受难,现在的情况很糟糕。”并称,他正在要求教育部门去推迟入学时间。
Kolofata and Mora are just two of the 25 schools on the border with Nigeria's Borno State. Monouna Fotso is Cameroon's secretary of state of the Ministry of Secondary Education. He says the government plans to move students from local schools for security reasons. He says at that time, the government will bring the staff and the students to the new sites. He says the goal of Boko Haram is "to traumatize the citizens."
Kolofata 和Mora的这两所学校只是尼日利亚博尔诺州边境25个学校中的两个。Monouna Fotso是喀麦隆中等教育部的秘书,他称,由于安全因素,政府计划将学生从当地学校迁出。并称,到那时候,政府将会把学生们和教职工们带到新的地方。还称,博科圣地恐怖组织的目的就是“使市民受到精神创伤”。
Over time, Cameroon has worked to extend and improve its educational system. Fourteen years ago, the government began providing free education. The action was part of efforts to increase school attendance. Cameroon is also trying to educate all of the youngest school-age children.
随着时间的推移,喀麦隆一直致力于扩展和改善其教育体系。在14年前,政府开始提供免费教育。这也是提高入学率的有效措施之一。喀麦隆也试图对所有的年幼的适龄儿童进行教育。
Boko Haram is a threat to Cameroon's students and educational goals. The group has killed, kidnapped and stolen from villages along the 2,000 - kilometer border with Nigeria. The group has gained energy and strength in its fight to establish a government ruled by a religious leader and sharia, Islamic law, in northern Nigeria. Cameroonian and Nigerian military action has failed to stop the violence.
而博科圣地恐怖组织是喀麦隆学生和教育目标实现的威胁。该组织在尼日利亚2000多公里边境上附近的村庄,进行杀害、绑架和掠夺村民的行径。该组织在尼日利亚北部建立一个由宗教领袖和伊斯兰法统治的政府这一斗争中,获得了能量和力量。喀麦隆和尼日利亚军队的军事行动未能组织这一次的暴力事件。

Boko Haram Threatening Schools in Cameroon

From VOA Learning English, this is the Education Report.

The school year has begun in Cameroon. But thousands of students and teachers are fleeing their schools in towns that border Nigeria's Borno state. The state is the home of the Boko Haram terrorist group.

One thousand children were expected to start classes in government schools in the border town of Kolofata. But only a few arrived.

Seventeen-year-old Foncha Rene was one of those who did come to school. He says Boko Haram attacks in the area have frightened away other students. Recent armed conflict between the Nigerian Boko Haram rebels and Cameroon soldiers collapsed the school's walls.

Pamela Singeth works at the government school in Kolofata. She spoke to VOA while taking refuge in a military camp.

"I cannot advise any child to go to school in the border zone because it is dangerous. Look at some classrooms that have been destroyed by Boko Haram. They even come here to pray, so I would not allow or advise any child to go to school in this area."

Like Kolofata, Mora is also a town on the border with Borno State. Seven hundred students were expected at school there. But only 100 students appeared. And those who arrived found more than 2,000 Nigerian refugees in their school building.

Babila Akao serves as an administrative official for the area. He says, "People are suffering; the situation is a bad situation." He says he is asking the Ministry of Education to postpone the start of the school year.

Kolofata and Mora are just two of the 25 schools on the border with Nigeria's Borno State. Monouna Fotso is Cameroon's secretary of state of the Ministry of Secondary Education. He says the government plans to move students from local schools for security reasons. He says at that time, the government will bring the staff and the students to the new sites. He says the goal of Boko Haram is "to traumatize the citizens."
