毛里求斯总统法基姆涉嫌财务纠纷辞职 系非洲唯一一位女性国家元首

Mauritian President Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, Africa's only female head of state, is to quit over a financial row.
据英国广播公司（BBC）网站的消息：非洲唯一一位女性国家元首，毛里求斯总统阿米娜•古里布-法基姆（Ameenah Gurib-Fakim）因涉财务纠纷而将宣布辞职。

She has been accused of using a bank card provided by a charity to make personal purchases worth tens of thousands of dollars.
法基姆被指控用一家慈善机构提供的银行卡进行私人消费，金额达数万美元。

She is to step down after ceremonies to mark the 50th anniversary of the island's independence next week.
她将在下周举行的纪念国家独立50周年庆祝仪式后辞职。

Denying wrongdoing, she said she had refunded all the money, Reuters news agency reports.
据路透社的报道，法基姆否认有违规行为，并表示已退还全部钱款。

Ms Gurib-Fakim is a renowned scientist and in 2015 became the first woman to be appointed to the ceremonial position of president of Mauritius.
古里布-法基姆是一位著名的科学家。2015年，她成为毛里求斯的首位女总统。

"The president of the republic told me that she would resign from office and we agreed on the date of her departure," Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth told reporters without giving the chosen date.
毛里求斯总理普拉温德·贾格纳特（Pravind Jugnauth）向记者表示：“法基姆总统已通知我她即将辞职的事宜，我们已就法基姆辞职日期达成共识。”不过，他并未透露具体日期。

"The interest of the country comes first, and I am proud of Mauritius's image as a model of living democracy in the world."
“国家利益优先。毛里求斯堪称民主制度的世界典范，我为其国际形象感到自豪。” 

He added it would take place before parliament returned at the end of the month.
他补充说，毛里求斯将会在本月底议会重启之前，推进民主化进程。

The Mauritian daily L'Express published bank documents purporting to show Ms Gurib-Fakim had used a credit card given to her by the Planet Earth Institute (PEI) in London to buy thousands of dollars worth of clothes, jewellery and other personal items.
毛里求斯日报《快报》公布了一些银行文件，声称古里布•法基姆用伦敦行星地球研究所（Planet Earth Institute）提供的信用卡，购买了价值数千美元的服装、珠宝和个人物品。

According to the paper, the card was given to her as part of her work as an unpaid director for the charity.
这家报纸声称，古里布•法基姆是这家慈善机构的一名无薪董事，因此项工作而获赠这张信用卡。

One of the organisation's directors is Angolan businessman Alvaro Sobrinho who, the paper says, secured a permit to found an investment bank in Mauritius, prompting allegations of favouritism.
报道还称，安哥拉商人阿尔瓦罗·索布里尼奥是行星地球研究所的董事之一，在毛里求斯获准成立一家投资银行。此举引发对（对总统）涉嫌徇私的指控。(译：林雅欣/李二牛  审校：王真之)
