by Vienna MaCANBERRA, Jan. 10 () -- The Australian federal government on Tuesday confirmed three Australian anti-whaling activists being held onboard by a Japanese whaling ship will be released without charge.Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said after much diplomatic wrangling between Canberra and Tokyo, Japan has decided the men will not be charged and will be handed over back to the Australian authorities.The Australian customs vessel, Ocean Protector, was on its way to pick up West Australians Geoffrey Tuxworth, 47, Simon Peterffy, 44, and Glen Pendlebury, 27, from the Shonan Maru 2, which was outside Australian water, but the journey was expected to take several days subject to weather conditions.Gillard commented the illegal activity of the nature undertaken by these three Australians was unacceptable and will ultimately be costly to the Australian taxpayer."We won't be in a position to give you every dollar and every cent until the operation is completed, the rendezvous is made and the Australians are picked up and returned to Australia, but we are talking in the vicinity of hundreds of thousands of taxpayers' dollars," Gillard told reporters in Canberra on Tuesday."People might want to make their views heard and they should, but people need to make sure they stay on the right side of the line and engage in legal activity,"According to Japanese government sources, it was reported that criminal charges will not be laid because the men did not cause injury to crew members or to the body of the ship, which is en route to the Antarctic whaling grounds.Gillard said thanks for the Japanese government's cooperation, but added that such "hazardous protest action" wasn't the way to put an end to whaling. 1 2 1 2
ABIDJAN, May 9 () -- Nigerian President Jonathan Goodluck on Wednesday made a stop-over in Abidjan where he held talks with his Cote d'Ivoire counterpart Alassane Ouattara over "worrying" issues in West Africa, according to official sources.Upon his arrival at 9:50 a.m. local time, Goodluck was welcomed at the Abidjan airport by Ouattara.The two men held a tete-a-tete for about 45 minutes at the VIP lounge at the airport before Goodluck's plane left at about 11:00 a. m., heading to the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, where he is expected to participate in the economic forum organized by the African Union (AU)."The two presidents discussed worrying issues within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) zone, especially on Mali and Guinea-Bissau," Cote d'Ivoire Foreign Minister Daniel Kablan Duncan said before Goodluck's departure."On Guinea-Bissau particularly, the two presidents agreed to send a joint delegation to the country probably starting tomorrow (Thursday) to hold talks with the junta," Duncan added.He said the delegation will comprise Cote d'Ivoire's foreign minister, Nigeria's ambassador to Cote d'Ivoire and the defense ministers of the two countries.The Cote d'Ivoire president, who is the current ECOWAS chairman, and his Nigerian counterpart are heading a regional working group on Guinea-Bissau, which was created by ECOWAS after the military coup d'etat that happened in the country.ECOWAS termed the coup d'etat as unacceptable and imposed sanctions to force Guinea-Bissau to restore constitutional order.The sub-regional body has also planned the deployment of troops to secure the political transition and reform Guinea-Bissau's security sector."The joint delegation will equally discuss the possibility of the formation of a transition government and the deployment of an ECOWAS force," Duncan said."It is important that this matter is resolved rapidly," he said.After Mali and Guinea-Bissau were hit by a military coup respectively on March 22 and on April 12, ECOWAS held two regional summits and a ministerial meeting between late April and early May. But the juntas in the two member states have rejected the one-year transition proposed by ECOWAS and the planned deployment of troops by the regional bloc.
