Diouf telephoned his longtime rival Abdoulaye Wade early Monday morning and told him that being president is a difficult mission and I wish you all the luck in the world, Diouf s campaign manager, Khalifa Sall, told The Associated Press.

Ruling parties who control campaign funds and often electoral authorities rarely lose elections in Africa, a continent plagued by coups and civil wars.

LONDON -- Doctors Without Borders says the world will run out of one of the most effective treatments for snakebites next year, risking the lives of tens of thousands of people, mostly in developing countries.In a statement issued Monday, the medical charity warned that exis air max 98 ting stockpiles of the anti-venom Fav-Afrique produced by Sanofi Pasteur will expire in June. The company stopped nike dunk producing the anti-venom last year and has since switched to making a rabies treatment at its facilities instead. We are now facing a real crisis, Dr. Gabriel Alcoba, the charity s snakebite adviser, said in a statement. The aid group, also known by its French acronym MSF, said there would likely be no alternative available to re asics gel place the Sanofi Pasteur snakebite treatment for at least two years.A spokesman for Sanofi Pasteur said the pharmaceutical was driven out of the market by competitors selling cheaper products and that they announced in 2010 they would stop making anti-venom. It s very strange that health officials are only realizing this problem five years later, said Alain Bernal, a Sanofi Pasteur spokesman. He said the company has offered to transfer the anti-venom technology to others but nothing has materialized yet. About 5 million people are bitten by snakes every year, including 100,000 deaths and several hundred thousand others who suffer amputations or other disabilities. When it s available, the anti-venom treatment typically costs $250 to $500.Before a meeting t Mjta Washington Post columnist goes missing at Turkey consulate as fianc eacute;e waits outside

ROME Israel s prime minister said Wednesday that the world should not accept what he called a partial deal to curb Ira af1 n s nuclear program - just as it is not allowing the Syrian government to keep any of its chemical weapons stockpile.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told America s chief diplomat that ongoing negotiations with Iran should insist that Tehran end all enrichment salomon xt on uranium, get rid of any fissile material and close water plants and underground bunkers that he said are only necessary to build a nuclear bomb.

The negotiations between Iran and a group of six nations, including the United States, stalled in October 2009 over a deal meant to ensure Iran could only use its stockpile of enriched uranium for fueling nuclear reactors and not for building bombs.In Brussels, t stanley cup he EU confirmed it had received the letter, which was sent by the office of top Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili.
