Mozambique's government has announced that it has secured $500m (£313m) to build a new railway line.

The transport minister said the new line will link the coal-rich northern Moatize mines to Nacala port by 2015.

He said funding from the Dutch and Danish government as well as the European Union meant construction could start in two months.

The Brazilian firm mining in Moatize says it represents one of the world's last great unexploited coal reserves.

Mozambique's railways, ports and mines areAfter preparing for many long months, Kel'Thuzad and his Cult of the Damned finally struck the first blow by releasing the plague of undeath upon Lordaeron. Uther and his fellow paladins investigated the infected regions wow gold in the hope of finding a way to stop the plague. Despite their efforts, the plague continued to spread and threatened to tear the Alliance apart. As the ranks of the undead swept across Lordaeron, Terenas' only son, Prince Arthas, took up the fight wow power leveling against the Scourge. Arthas succeeded in killing Kel'Thuzad, but even so, the undead ranks swelled with every soldier that fell defending the land. Frustrated and stymied by the seemingly unstoppable enemy, Arthas took increasingly extreme steps to conquer them. Finally Arthas' comrades warned him that he was losing his hold on his humanity. Arthas' fear and resolve proved to be his ultimate undoing. He tracked the plague's source to Northrend, intending to end its threat forever. Instead, Prince Arthas eventually fell prey to the Lich King's tremendous power. Believing that it wow gold would save his people, Arthas took up the cursed runeblade, Frostmourne. Though the sword did grant him unfathomable power, it also stole his soul and transformed him into the greatest of the Lich King's death knights. With his soul cast aside wow power leveling and his sanity shattered, Arthas led the Scourge against his own kingdom. Ultimately, Arthas murdered his own father, King Terenas, and crushed Lordaeron under the Lich King's iron heel. changlijie091008 
slowly recovering from a brutal civil war that ended in 1992.

Three years ago, the 670km (420 mile) long Sena Railway linking Beira port to Moatize was cleared of mines and unexploded ordnance.

But the BBC's Jose Tembe in the capital, Maputo, says the line was never completely refurbished and the silted port of Beira is now unable to handle big vessels.

So Transport Minister Paulo Zucula said the new line will link the existing Sena line to a railway that runs between the deep water port of Nacala and Malawi.

'Unexploited coal reserve'

Its completion, including the refurbishment of the Nacala-Malawi railway, will come at the peak of Moatize mine's coal production, Mr Zucula said.

Operations at Moatize, in Tete province, are run by Brazilian mining giant, Vale.

Mr Zucula said some of the new funding would also be used to dredge Beira port.

Our correspondent says the railway is part of Mozambique's plan to become a regional trans-shipment route.

Its three key ports - Maputo, Beira and Nacala - are strategically important to Mozambique's neighbours, especially landlocked Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe, as well as parts of South Africa.

The country also wants to serve as an alternative to the highly congested ports of Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania and Kenya's Mombasa.

Hours after an amnesty for Nigeria's oil militants expired, the original group that began the unrest has gone to court, arguing the move is illegal.

The 60-day amnesty offered cash and training for fighters who disarmed.

A lawyer for the Niger Delta People's Volunteer Force told the BBC he feared government forces would now "unleash terror" in the poverty-stricken Delta.

A BBC reporter says the group has been inactive for a few years, but its case may be intended as a rallying call.

Most prominent militant leaders have accepted the amnesty - part of government efforts to end years of attacks on the Nigerian oil industry.

But the BBC's Ahmed Idris in the capital, Abuja, says someA sigh. "I am aware that you spend most of your time in the north these days. Your increasingly wow gold lengthy absences were what caught my attention in the first place. Yet even you must have heard that the king's new tax has given rise to civil unrest. Your selfish pursuit of power could incite the peasantry wow power leveling to revolt. Lordaeron would be engulfed in civil war." He hadn't known about the tax. Antonidas must be exaggerating. Besides, true magi would focus on matters of greater substance. "I will be more discreet," he offered, gritting his teeth. "No amount of discretion could possibly hide a secret of this magnitude," said Drenden. Modera added, "You know that we have always walked a fine line in order to protect wow gold our people without becoming a danger ourselves. We dare not sacrifice our humanity--not in appearance, and certainly not in truth. At best, your methods would see us condemned as heretics." It was too much. "We've been called heretics for centuries. The church has never been fond of our methods. Such sentiments notwithstanding, we are still here." She nodded. "Because we avoid dark magic, which leads to corruption and catastrophe." "Because we are necessary!" "Enough." Antonidas sounded weary. To Modera and Drenden, he added, "If words alone could have reached him, they would have done wow power leveling so before now.""I have heard your words," Kel'Thuzad said in exasperation. "Merciful gods, I have heard them until I am sick of them! It is you who will not hear mine, and put aside your antiquated fea--" "You mistake our purpose here today," interrupted Antonidas. "This is not a debate. At this moment, your properties are being thoroughly searched. All items tainted by dark magic will be confiscated and, once identified to our satisfaction, destroyed." changlijie091008  militants in the oil-rich creeks are unwilling to give up their arms and lucrative oil-stealing business.

The reverend Stephen Davis, a former adviser to two Nigerian presidents on the Niger Delta, also has doubts about the amnesty, saying that the underlying political and economic landscape has not changed.

He says there are still no jobs for disaffected youths, powerful people in Nigeria continue to make money form oil theft and political godfathers will still need young men with guns in order to secure their positions.

The officials behind the amnesty have branded Reverend Davis "a mischievous nay-sayer".

But a government spokeswoman argued that jobs and economic development would come now there is peace and security.

'Silence'

NDPVF lawyer Festus Keyamo told the BBC the amnesty deal was a calculated plot to divert attention from the region's under-development and right to self determination.

"They [NDPVF] are saying: 'Give us our resources to control, you have no right to control our resources on our behalf and no amount of intimidation or amnesty can make us lose focus of that fact,'" he said.

In the papers filed at the Abuja High Court, the group says President Umaru Yar'Adua does not have the power to grant pardons when nothing has been done wrong.

"Amnesty means 'We forgive you', but there is nothing to forgive here if you are fighting for the self-determination of your people," Mr Keyamo said.

He also said the group saw the amnesty "as a means to cow everybody in the Niger Delta into submission and silence".

NDPVF leader Mujahid Dokubo-Asari was an ethnic Ijaw leader who began fighting the government in 2003.

He took up arms after accusing Niger Delta politicians of failing to pay him and his group for helping to rig elections in that year.

He was jailed for treason in 2005 and during his two years in prison most of his fighters joined other groups in the oil-rich swamps.

Since his release he has lived in the capital.

Although Nigeria is the world's eighth-largest oil exporter, the unrest has prevented it from pumping much more than two-thirds of its production capacity.

South Africa's former chief of police Jackie Selebi has pleaded not guilty at the start of his corruption trial.

He resigned as Interpol president after being charged with having links to organised crime and accepting bribes worth 1.2m rand ($157,000, £98,000).

The BBC's Jonah Fisher in Johannesburg says his case is seen as a test of a much-criticised justice system.

He is a senior member of the ruling African National Congress and the trial could have political ramifications.

As he left court, Mr Selebi said: "I am ready to drop bombshells."

His lawyers said the charges were part of a conspiracy against him by the National Prosecuting Authority.

They said the NPA had offered criminals immunity from prosecution if they testified against Mr Selebi.

The NPA has previously been accused of being heavily politicised, especially in its prosecution of President Jacob Zuma.

During the case at Johannesburg's High Court, prosecutors will seek to prove that Mr Selebi, 58, received corrupt payments over a five-year period.

The South African Press Association says he stood solemnly in a grey suit as the charges against him - two of corruption and one of defeating the end of justice - were read out.

"I plead not guilty," he said.

At the heart of the allegations is Mr Selebi's relationship with convictedOnce Kel'Thuzad was whole again, Arthas led the Scourge south to Dalaran. There the lich would obtain the powerful spellbook of Medivh, and use it to summon Archimonde back into the world. From that point on, Archimonde wow power leveling himself would begin the Legion's final invasion. Not even the wizards of the Kirin Tor could stop Arthas' forces from stealing Medivh's book, and soon Kel'Thuzad had all he needed to perform his spell. After ten thousand years, the mighty demon Archimonde and his host emerged once again upon the world of Azeroth. Yet Dalaran was not their final destination. Under orders from Kil'jaeden himself, Archimonde and his demons followed the undead Scourge to Kalimdor, bent on destroying Nordrassil, the World Tree. In the midst of this chaos, a lone, mysterious prophet appeared to wow gold lend the mortal races guidance. This prophet proved to be none other than Medivh, the last Guardian, miraculously returned from the Beyond to redeem himself for past sins. Medivh told the Horde and the Alliance of the dangers they faced and urged them to band together. Jaded by generations of hate, the orcs and humans would have none of it. Medivh was forced to deal with each race separately, using prophecy and trickery to guide them across the sea to the legendary land of Kalimdor. The orcs and humans soon encountered the long-hidden civilization of the Kaldorei. The orcs, led by Thrall, suffered a series of setbacks on their journey across Kalimdor's Barrens. Though they befriended Cairne Bloodhoof and his mighty tauren warriors, many orcs began to succumb to the demonic bloodlust that had plagued them for years. Thrall's greatest lieutenant, Grom Hellscream, even betrayed the Horde by giving himself over to his baser instincts. As Hellscream and his loyal Warsong warriors stalked through the forests of Ashenvale, they clashed with the ancient night elf Sentinels. Certain that the orcs had returned to their warlike ways, the demigod Cenarius came forth to drive Hellscream and his orcs back. Yet Hellscream and his orcs, overcome with supernatural hate and rage, managed to kill Cenarius and corrupt the ancient forestlands. Ultimately, Hellscream redeemed wow power leveling his honor by helping Thrall defeat Mannoroth, the demon lord who first cursed the orcs with his bloodline of hate and rage. With Mannoroth's death, the orcs' blood-curse was finally brought to an end. While Medivh worked to convince the orcs and humans of the need for an alliance, the night elves fought the Legion in their own secretive ways. Tyrande Whisperwind, the immortal High Priestess of the night elf Sentinels, battled desperately to keep the demons and undead from overrunning the forests of Ashenvale. Tyrande realized that she needed help, so she set out to awaken the night elf druids from their thousand-year slumber. Calling upon her ancient love, Malfurion Stormrage, Tyrande succeeded in galvanizing her defenses and driving the Legion back. With Malfurion's help, nature herself rose up to vanquish the Legion and its Scourge allies. While searching wow gold for more of the hibernating druids, Malfurion found the ancient barrow prison in which he had chained his brother, Illidan. Convinced that Illidan would aid them against the Legion, Tyrande set him free. Though Illidan did aid them for a time, he eventually fled to pursue his own interests. The night elves braced themselves and fought the Burning Legion with grim determination. The Legion had never ceased in its desire for the Well of Eternity, long the source of strength for the World Tree and itself the heart of the night elf kingdom. If their planned assault on the Tree was successful, the demons would literally tear the world apart. changlijie091008  drug smuggler, Glen Agliotti, who is also accused of links to the murder of a prominent mining magnate.

Prosecutors allege that Agliotti paid bribes and gifts to the police commissioner in exchange for turning a blind eye to drugs trafficking.

Mr Selebi, who was South Africa's first black police chief, was a close ally of former President Thabo Mbeki, a bitter rival to Mr Zuma.

Corruption charges against Mr Zuma were dropped shortly before he became president after elections in April. He said those were part of a plot against him by Mbeki allies.

Mr Selebi was a political appointee and had no previous experience of policing when he was appointed as police chief in 2000.

When the allegations of corruption first surfaced, opposition parties accused Mr Mbeki of protecting Mr Selebi.

His contract was extended even after he had been charged with corruption.

The case has now been adjourned until Tuesday.

Two key figures in Zimbabwe's shaky power-sharing government are divided over how to spend some $800m (£500m) in recently approved aid funding.

Central Bank governor Gideon Gono - an ally of President Robert Mugabe - has said Finance Minister Tendai Biti is being slow to spend the money.

Mr Biti is a senior figure in the former opposition MDC.

He has reportedly argued that the money should be spent only after the government has agreed a budget.

The unity government was formed in February in an attempt to save Zimbabwe's shattered economy.

Donors have been wary of restoring too much aid to Zimbabwe, fearing it could be misused by Mr Mugabe and his allies.

But the IMF and African Export-Import (Afrexim) Bank have made some $800m available.

Mr Gono, who has often clashed with Mr During the Legion's invasion of Ashenvale, Illidan was released from his barrow prison after ten thousand years of captivity. Though he sought to appease his comrades, he soon reverted to true form and consumed the energies wow power leveling of a powerful warlock artifact known as the Skull of Gul'dan. By doing so, Illidan developed demonic features and vastly magnified power. He also gained some of Gul'dan's old memories - especially those of the Tomb of Sargeras, the island dungeon rumored to hold the remains of the Dark Titan, Sargeras. Bristling with power and free to roam the world once more, Illidan set out to find his own place in the great scheme of things. However, Kil'jaeden confronted Illidan and made him an offer he could not refuse. Kil'jaeden was angered by Archimonde's defeat at Mount Hyjal, but he had greater concerns than vengeance. Sensing that his creation, the Lich King, was growing too powerful to control, Kil'jaeden ordered wow gold Illidan to destroy Ner'zhul and put an end to the undead Scourge once and for all. In exchange, Illidan would receive untold power and a true place amongst the remaining lords of the Burning Legion. Illidan agreed and immediately set out to destroy the Frozen Throne, the icy crystal cask in which the Lich King's spirit resided. Illidan knew that he would need a mighty artifact to destroy the Frozen Throne. Using the knowledge he had gained from Gul'dan's memories, Illidan decided to seek out the Tomb of Sargeras and claim the Dark Titan's remains. He called in some old Highborne debts and lured the serpentine naga from their dark undersea lairs. Led by the cunning witch Lady Vashj the naga helped Illidan reach the Broken Isles, where Sargeras' Tomb was rumored to be located. As Illidan set out with the naga, Warden Maiev Shadowsong began to hunt him. Maiev had been Illidan's jailor for wow power leveling ten thousand years and relished the prospect of recapturing him. However, Illidan outsmarted Maiev and her Watchers and succeeded in claiming the Eye of Sargeras despite their efforts. With the powerful Eye in his possession, Illidan traveled to the former wizard-city of Dalaran. Strengthened by the city's ley power lines, Illidan used the Eye to cast a destructive spell against the Lich King's citadel of Icecrown in distant Northrend. Illidan's attack shattered the Lich King's defenses and ruptured the very roof of the world. At the final moment, Illidan's destructive spell was stopped when his brother Malfurion and the Priestess Tyrande arrived to aid Maiev. Knowing that Kil'jaeden would not be pleased with his failure to destroy wow gold the Frozen Throne, Illidan fled to the barren dimension known as Outland: the last remnants of Draenor, the orcs' former homeworld. There he planned to evade Kil'jaeden's wrath and plan his next moves. After they succeeded in stopping Illidan, Malfurion and Tyrande returned home to Ashenvale Forest to watch over their people. Maiev, however, would not quit so easily, and followed Illidan to Outland, determined to bring him to justice. changlijie091008 Biti over control of Zimbabwe's finances, says the money should be distributed to farmers and manufacturers to boost the country's economy.

"The current delay in utilising the IMF loan is needlessly delaying the recovery of the economy," Mr Gono said, according to the Reuters news agency.

"I called the minister of agriculture... and told him that if he is not careful, he will lead this country to hunger.

"There is no meaningful land preparation going on, because there is no money for fuel and spares."

Mr Biti's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) blames Mr Gono for the collapse of Zimbabwe's economy and wants him to be replaced.

The latest row comes as President Mugabe is due to open parliament later on Tuesday.

The budget is due to be presented in November.

President Robert Mugabe says Zimbabwe is ready for new, more cordial relations with Western nations that have been fierce critics of his rule.

Zimbabwe was ready for "fresh, friendly and co-operative relations with all those countries that have been hostile to us in the past," he said.

But he added that the lifting of Western-imposed sanctions was essential for this to become a reality.

Mr Mugabe was speaking at the opening of Zimbabwe's parliament.

His comments come less than two weeks after he said the West was trying to undermine the country's power-sharing government.

The sanctions prevent Mr Mugabe and his closest alliesAt this time, the undead Scourge had essentially transformed Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas into the toxic Plaguelands. There were only a few pockets of Alliance resistance forces left. One such group, consisting wow power leveling primarily of high elves, was led by the last of the Sunstrider dynasty: Prince Kael'thas. Kael, an accomplished wizard himself, grew wary of the failing Alliance. The high elves grieved for the loss of their homeland and decided to call themselves blood elves in honor of their fallen people. Yet as they worked to keep the Scourge at bay, they suffered greatly at being cut off from the Sunwell that had empowered them. Desperate to find a cure for his people's racial addiction to magic, Kael did the unthinkable: he embraced his people's Highborne ancestry and joined wow gold with Illidan and his naga in hopes of finding a new magical power source upon which to feed. The remaining Alliance commanders condemned the blood elves as traitors and cast them out for good. With no place left to go, Kael and his blood elves followed Lady Vashj to Outland to help contest the warden, Maiev, who had recaptured Illidan. With the combined naga and blood elf forces, they managed to defeat Maiev and free Illidan from her grasp. Based in Outland, Illidan gathered his forces for a second strike against the Lich King and his fortress of Icecrown. Ner'zhul, the Lich King, knew that his time was short. Imprisoned within the Frozen Throne, he suspected that Kil'jaeden would send his agents to destroy him. The damage wow power leveling caused by Illidan's spell had ruptured the Frozen Throne; thus, the Lich King was losing his power daily. Desperate to save himself, he called his greatest mortal servant to his side: the death knight Prince Arthas. Though his powers were drained by the Lich King's weakness, Arthas had been involved in a civil war in Lordaeron. Half of the standing undead forces, led by the banshee Sylvanas Windrunner, staged a coup for control over the undead empire. Arthas, called by the Lich King, was forced to leave the Scourge in the hands of his lieutenant, Kel'Thuzad, as the war escalated throughout the Plaguelands. Ultimately, Sylvanas and her rebel undead (known as the Forsaken) claimed the ruined capital city of Lordaeron as their own. Constructing their aion gold own bastion beneath the wrecked city, the Forsaken vowed to defeat the Scourge and drive Kel'Thuzad and his minions from the land. Weakened, but determined to save his master, Arthas reached Northrend only to find Illidan's naga and blood elves waiting for him. He and his nerubian allies raced against Illidan's forces to reach the Icecrown Glacier and defend the Frozen Throne. changlijie091008  from travelling and accessing their assets abroad. And donors are wary of releasing aid money to the government, fearing it could be misused by Mr Mugabe or his allies.

Mr Mugabe claims the measures have undermined Zimbabwe's economy, which has suffered declining output and massive price inflation.

Last month, the European Union sent a high-level delegation to Zimbabwe to meet Mr Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, the former opposition leader who took office in February under a power-sharing deal.

"Our re-engagement with the EU bloc is gathering momentum," Mr Mugabe told parliament on Tuesday.

"However, as our inclusive government re-engages the Western countries, we expect those countries that have imposed illegal sanctions, which have hurt and continue to hurt our economy and the generality of our people, to remove them."

Two ex-officers in Zambia's air force are suing the military, saying they were tested and treated for HIV without their knowledge.

Stanley Kingaipe and Charles Chookole claim they were dismissed for being HIV positive - claims the air force denies.

Mandatory HIV screening is not legal in the military, and the government denies the two men were tested.

Their appearance at Livingstone's High Court is being viewed as a test case regarding mandatory testing for HIV.

The BBC's Jo Fidgen in Lusaka says the issue is contentious in Zambia - with human rights lawyers opposing the practice as an invasion of privacy, but the health minister and some doctors speaking out in favour.

'Routine check-ups'

The two men are seeking reinstatement and damages for mental and emotional anguish.

Both were put through medical tests in 2001 that theyThough victory was theirs, the mortal races found themselves in a world shattered by war. The Scourge and the Burning Legion had all but destroyed the civilizations of Lordaeron, and had almost finished the job wow power leveling in Kalimdor. There were forests to heal, grudges to bury, and homelands to settle. The war had wounded each race deeply, but they had selflessly banded together to attempt a new beginning, starting with the uneasy truce between the Alliance and Horde. Thrall led the orcs to the continent of Kalimdor, where they founded a new homeland with the help of their tauren brethren. Naming their new land wow gold Durotar after Thrall's murdered father, the orcs settled down to rebuild their once-glorious society. Now that the demon curse was ended, the Horde changed from a warlike juggernaut into more of a loose coalition, dedicated to survival and prosperity rather than conquest. Aided by the noble tauren and the cunning trolls of the Darkspear tribe, Thrall and his orcs looked forward to a new era of peace in their own land. The remaining Alliance forces under Jaina Proudmoore settled in southern Kalimdor. Off the eastern coast of Dustwallow Marsh, they built the rugged port city of Theramore. There, the humans and their dwarven allies worked to survive in a land that would always be hostile to them. Though the defenders of Durotar and Theramore kept the tentative truce with one another, the fragile colonial serenity was not meant to last. The peace between the orcs and humans was shattered by the arrival of a massive Alliance fleet in Kalimdor. The mighty fleet, under the command of Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore (Jaina's father), had left Lordaeron before wow power leveling Arthas had destroyed the kingdom. Having sailed for many grueling months, Admiral Proudmoore was searching for any Alliance survivors he could find. Proudmoore's armada posed a serious threat to the stability of the region. As a renowned hero of the Second War, Jaina's father was a staunch enemy of the Horde, and he was determined to destroy Durotar before the orcs could gain a foothold in the land. The Grand Admiral forced Jaina to make a terrible decision: support him in battle against the orcs and betray her newfound allies, or fight her own father to maintain aion gold the fragile peace that the Alliance and the Horde had finally attained. After much soul-searching, Jaina chose the latter and helped Thrall defeat her crazed father. Unfortunately Admiral Proudmoore died in battle before Jaina could reconcile with him or prove that orcs were no longer bloodthirsty monsters. For her loyalty, the orcs allowed Jaina's forces to return home safely to Theramore changlijie091008 believed were routine check-ups, after which they were put on medication.

Much later, both men volunteered to be tested for HIV and claim it was only then that they were told that the drugs they had been taking were anti-retrovirals.

In their legal case they claim they were not given counselling or told about the importance of the drugs they had been given.

In court documents, the Zambian government denies the men were tested for HIV.

The papers say the men were discharged because Mr Kingaipe had cancer while Mr Chookole had developed tuberculosis.

Last month Mr Chookole, 41, told the Washington Post he had been unable to find work since his dismissal.

He said: "I was confused. Somebody is telling you you are unfit. But I was dressed in full uniform.

"I did not come before them on a stretcher."

Human rights lawyers - who oppose mandatory testing - are hoping the case will clarify the legality of the practice.

Health Minister Kapembwa Simbao and some doctors have spoken in favour.

They argue that 15% of the population are thought to be HIV-positive too few people are volunteering to be tested.

A convicted drugs smuggler has told a court in South Africa that he paid its ex-police chief, Jackie Selebi, 1.2m rand ($157,000; £98,000) in bribes.

Glenn Agliotti testified that he had handed over cash-stuffed envelopes and bought handbags for Mr Selebi's wife.

Agliotti, who faces trial separately in connection with the murder of a mining tycoon, said he was kept informed of police investigations in exchange.

Mr Selebi says he is the victim of a conspiracy by state prosecutors.

While the former Interpol president has acknowledged his friendship with Agliotti, he pleaded not guilty to the three charges of corruption and defeating the end of justice at the start of his trial on Monday.

'Go-between'

In his testimony to Johannesburg's High Court on Tuesday, Agliotti said he had first met Mr Selebi in 1990, when the accused was in charge of the social welfare division of the now-governing African National Congress (ANC).

"Selebi indicated to me that he had his own problems and a medical bill that he needed to pay for one of his kids at the time. I gave him the money," he said.

"Initially I would pay from my own money. I would put it in an envelope. Around the time of Medivh's birth on Azeroth, Kil'jaeden the Deceiver sat and brooded amongst his followers within the Twisting Nether. The cunning demonlord, under orders of his master, Sargeras, was plotting the Burning Legion's wow gold second invasion of Azeroth. This time he would not allow any mistakes. Kil'jaeden surmised that he needed a new force to weaken Azeroth's defenses before the Legion even set foot upon the world. If the mortal races, such as the night elves and dragons, were forced to contend with a new threat, they would be too weak to pose any real resistance when the Legion's true invasion wow gold arrived. It was at this time that Kil'jaeden discovered the lush world of Draenor floating peacefully within the Great Dark Beyond. Home to the shamanistic, clan-based orcs and the peaceful draenei, Draenor was as idyllic as it was vast. The noble orc clans roamed the open prairies and hunted for sport, while the inquisitive draenei built crude cities within the world's towering cliffs and peaks. Kil'jaeden knew that Draenor's denizens had great potential to serve the Burning Legion if they could be cultivated properly. Of the two races, Kil'jaeden saw that the warrior orcs were more susceptible to the Legion's corruption. He enthralled the elder orc shaman, Ner'zhul, in much the same way that Sargeras brought wow gold Queen Azshara under his control in ages past. Using the cunning shaman as his conduit, the demon spread battle lust and savagery throughout the orc clans. Before long, the spiritual race was transformed into a bloodthirsty people. Kil'jaeden then urged Ner'zhul and his people to take the last step: to give themselves over entirely to the pursuit of death and war. Yet the old shaman, sensing that wow gold his people would be enslaved to hatred forever, somehow resisted the demon's command. Frustrated by Ner'zhul's resistance, Kil'jaeden searched for another orc who would deliver his people into the Legion's hands. The clever demonlord finally found the willing disciple he sought - Ner'zhul's ambitious apprentice, Gul'dan. Kil'jaeden promised Gul'dan untold power in exchange for his utter obedience. The young orc became an avid wow gold student of demonic magic and developed into the most powerful mortal warlock in history. He taught other young orcs the arcane arts and strove to eradicate the orcs' shamanistic traditions. Gul'dan showed a new brand of magic to his brethren, a terrible new power that reeked of doom. Kil'jaeden, seeking to tighten his hold over the orcs, helped Gul'dan found the Shadow Council, a secretive wow gold sect that manipulated the clans and spread the use of warlock magics throughout Draenor. As more and more orcs began to wield warlock magics, the gentle fields and streams of Draenor began to blacken and fade. Over time, the vast prairies the orcs had called home for generations withered away, leaving only red barren soil. The demon energies were slowly killing the world. changlijie091008It was small amounts - 5,000 rand, 10,000 rand."

Agliotti, who will not be prosecuted for offences relating to Mr Selebi in return for his testimony, said two later payments were worth 120,000 and 200,000 rand.

After Mr Selebi was appointed South Africa's first black police commissioner in 2000, the two men and their partners would meet at an upmarket shopping centre in Johannesburg, Sandton City, Agliotti told the court.

"When the accused and I met, I enjoyed shopping and so did he. Him being my friend, I would instruct shop attendants to put all the clothes on my account," he said.

"For the accused's wife's birthday, I wanted to buy her a Louis Vuitton handbag from Sandton... a red patent one [that] cost 10,000 rand. [The] accused's wife came with me," he added.

Agliotti also said he had been a go-between for Mr Selebi and the mining tycoon, Brett Kebble, who wanted Mr Selebi to stop an investigation into his company and have charges against his father Roger dropped.

Agliotti has been charged in connection with Kebble's 2005 murder.

Lawyers for Mr Selebi say the charges against him are part of a conspiracy by the National Prosecuting Authority, which has previously been accused of being heavily politicised, especially in its prosecution of President Jacob Zuma.

Mr Selebi was a close ally of former President Thabo Mbeki, a bitter rival to Mr Zuma.

Corruption charges against Mr Zuma were dropped shortly before he became president after elections in April. He said they were part of a plot against him by Mr Mbeki's allies.

One of the most wanted suspects in Rwanda's 1994 genocide has been arrested in Uganda.

Idelphonse Nizeyimana was an intelligence chief at the time of the genocide, in which about 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed.

He has been extradited to Tanzania for trial at a UN-backed tribunal, accused of organising the killing of thousands - including the former Tutsi queen.

Rwanda welcomed the arrest but said he should be tried in his country.

"There is no time limit for justice, whether it comes fast or slow it is something we want to see," said Augustine Nkusi, a spokesman for the prosecutor-general.

The lengthy indictment says he elaborated, adhered to and executed a plan to wipe out the Tutsis - the minority in a country ruled by a Hutu government for more than three decades.

He is accused of setting up special military units to help carry out the slaughter.

One of these units is believed to have killed Queen Rosalie Gicanda, widow of King Mutara III who died in 1959 shortly before the country became a republic.

According to a 1999 report by US-based Human Rights Watch, Hutu soldiers took the queen from her home in the south-eastern town of Butare and shot her behind the national museum.

They also murdered several women who looked after the queen, who was about 80 years old when she died.

Another charge against Mr Nizeyimana is that he ordered the establishment of roadblocks at which Tutsis were captured before being murdered.

And troops said to have been under his command rampaged through the University of Butare, killing lecturers and students in what was seen as an attempt to wipe out the Tutsi intelligentsia.

Falso documents

Like an estimated two million Rwandan Hutus, Mr Nizeyimana fled after the genocide and took refuge in neighbouring DR Congo.

Officials believe that there he was active in a pro-Hutu rebel army called Democratic Front for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR).The BBC's Geoffrey Mutogoma in Kigali says it is believed he rose to the rank of colonel in the FDLR and Rwandan officials hope his arrest will disrupt its activities.

He was arrested in a modest hotel in the Ugandan capital, Kampala.

Ugandan police said he had crossed the border from DR Congo last week, and was heading for Kenya with false travel documents.

The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, based in Arusha, Tanzania, said he would appear before the judges in the coming days.

The tribunal, which is due to finish its work by the end of next year, says it is still trying to find 11 fugitives. So far 40 people have been convicted of crimes connected with the genocide.

Madagascar's political rivals have agreed on cabinet posts in a new unity government, officials at power-sharing talks have said.

The announcement follows weeks of discussions aimed at ending a political crisis that began earlier this year.

Under the agreement, Andry Rajoelina remains president, delegates said.

Mr Rajoelina ousted the former President Marc Ravalomanana in March with the backing of the army, after months of anti-government protests.

He and his allies accused the deposed president of being a tyrant who misspent public money.

Aid suspended

The political struggle led to the deaths of more than 100 people and crippled the island's tourist industry.

A power-sharing agreement was agreed in August following negotiations in the Mozambican capital, Maputo.

However, opposition parties refused to recognise ministers named by Mr Rajoelina and accused him of breaking the deal.

"We now have the three posts that were missing in Maputo," he said.

"The president is Andry Rajoelina, the vice-president is Emmanuel Rakotovahiny, and the prime minister is Eugene Mangalaza."

Mr Andrianarisoa said that Mr Ravalomanana had accepted that Mr Rajoelina could remain president on condition he did not stand at the next presidential election.

Mr Rajoelina, a 35-year-old former disc-jockey, is not internationally recognised as Madagascar's head of state and many countries suspended aid to the island state.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has labelled Guinea's crackdown on an opposition rally last Monday as a "vile violation" of people's rights.

Mrs Clinton promised "appropriate actions" against the military rulers.

Activists say soldiers killed 157 anti-junta protesters - though the government puts the figure much lower.

Opposition leaders have rejected the latest offer of talks with the junta - saying the perpetrators of the killings needed to be punished first.

They also said junta leader Captain Moussa Dadis Camara would have to step down before any talks could go ahead.

"We will only sit on the same negotiating table with the junta when these demands are met," said Ba Oury, a senior figure within the opposition.

Burkina Faso's President Blaise Compaore is mediating in the dispute and proposed the talks after holding meetings with both sides on Monday.

International outrage

Guineans and governments around the world were horrified by eyewitness reports of soldiers firing on crowds and raping women in the streets as they put down the rally.

Mrs Clinton is the latest international leader to join a chorus of outrage over the crackdown in the capital, Conakry, on 28 September.

She pledged that the US intends "to pursue appropriate actions against the current administration in that country".

The rally was called to protest at reports that Captain Camara was planning to stand in presidential elections next year.

After seizing power in December 2008, he pledged not to contest elections but has since made a series of contradictory statements about his intentions.

He has even described himself as a "hostage" - both to the Guinean people and to the "unstructured" army.
