Aid toRwanda 援助卢旺达 Thepain of suspension 停止资助的阵痛 WillRwandas widely praised development plans now bestymied? 广泛称赞的卢旺达发展计划是否就此受阻? Jan12th 2013| KIGALI |From the print edition ANEWCOMER has arrived on Lake Kivu, the deep and dangerous body of water thatdivides Rwanda on the east from the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west. Ahigh-tech barge weighed down with gleaming steel tanks sits in the bay atKibuye, on the Rwandan shore. Nearby, a corridor of red buoys marking the pathof a new pipeline stretches into a waterway criss-crossed by fishermen inwooden boats. 基伍湖来了个新朋友，这片深邃危险的水域,把湖东部的卢旺达和湖西边的刚果民主共和国分隔开。一艘高科技的船驳，闪闪发光的钢制钢坦克，停在卢旺达海岸的Kibuye海湾上。附近,一条用红色浮标标志着的通道里，一根新管道一路延伸到一个被渔民的木船所纵横交错的航道。 Soakedin carbon dioxide and methane from surrounding volcanoes, Kivu is one of theworlds most explosive lakes. If its gases weresuddenly released, the explosion could be the biggestcatastrophe humankind has experienced, perhaps suffocating or incinerating the2m people who live on the shore, says Jarmo Gummerus, a Finnish engineer. He isworking on the barge, built by ContourGlobal, an American energy company, whichis seeking to extract the methane and convert it into electricity. |
