Do Trung Huiqe is among the six crew members of MV Royale 16 who were abducted by Abu Sayyaf criminals around 5 a.m. local time last Nov. 11 near Sibago Island in the Basilan Strait, a strait of water separating the islands of Mindanao and Basilan province.

NAIROBI, May 31 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) launched operation on Wednesday Air Force 1 High Tops , becoming the newest addition to the list of Chinese-built railways in Africa that are fast-tracking development and delivering green growth.
The 480-km railway cuts the journey from Kenya's capital to the Mombasa Port, the biggest port in East Africa, from 12 hours to just over four hours. While the railway brings about the much-awaited convenience and efficiency, it also succeeds in accommodating the wildlife movement needs, thus causing minimal interference to the animals.
FASTER, GREENER DEVELOPMENT
Prior to the new 3.8 billion U.S. dollars SGR Air Force 1 High , which is the biggest infrastructure project for Kenya since its independence in 1963, people relied on the two-lane highway (A109) and the century-old meter-gauge railway for road transportation. Neither of the two has been efficient enough to meet the demands of Kenya's rising economy.
Due to lack of maintenance and upgrading, the colonial-era railway has dropped its speed to below 40 kmh and its annual freight volume is less than 1 million tonnes, accounting for less than 10 percent of the total throughput of the Mombasa Port.
The A109 road has long been a problematic alternative, laden with truck traffic and prone to accidents. Overturned trucks are commonplace, paralyzing traffic Air Force 1 , damaging roads, and causing pervasive pollution.
The SGR line has a designed speed of 80kmh for freight trains and 120kmh for passenger trains. One freight train, which can haul a record 200 containers, can get about 100 trucks off the road.
Atanas Maina, managing director of Kenya Railways Corporation, said SGR trains will ferry between 40 and 50 percent of port-bound cargo Cheap Nike Air Force 1 , reducing road damage, accidents and pollution.
The launch of the energy-efficient SGR will also give a leg up to Kenya's tourism industry, a key pillar of the economy, as the line will link the beach and the country's world-famous safari tourism.
