The hospital was due to open Friday but the government now says it won't allow the clinic to open because of licensing issues. The American NGO behind the hospital says the government revoked permission for the clinic in response to pressure from the Catholic Church. Jennifer Lazuta has more from VOA's West bureau in Dakar. ((TEXT)) Burkina Faso's first lady, Chantal Compaoré, was scheduled to inaugurate the world's first hospital to reconstruct the clitoris of women who have suffered from female genital mutilation The hospital has been under construction in Bobo-Dioulasso since 2011. But earlier this week, the Ministry of Health said it would not allow the hospital to open its doors. Lene Sebgo, the minister of health, gave the reason: (( SEBGO ACT IN FRENCH )) He says, "the Ministry of Health can't give permission for the hospital to open on March 7 because there any authorization to create it." He says, "There are clear rules and regulations for opening a medical clinic, and the government cannot allow the hospital to open now because it has not followed rules or listed its health workers." The hospital was created by Clitoraid, a Las Vegas-based non-profit organization, which works to "restore a sense of pleasure" to women who underwent FGM. It was backed by the founder of the International Realian Movement, a UFO religious sect that promotes sexuality and sensuality. The surgery, which rebuilds the anatomy of the clitoris, not only repairs the physical damage of FGM, can also restore sexual sensation. Abibata Sanon is Clitoraid's Burkina Faso representative and the head of the Association of Female Fulfillment, a local NGO that collaborated with Clitoraid on the hospital. She said she doesn't understand why the government won't allow the hospital to open. (( SANON ACT IN FRENCH )) She says, "We submitted all the paperwork in 2011, but now the Minister of Health is saying there was a problem of deadline with the files and has asked us to delay the opening of the hospital." Sanon says the building is complete, the equipment is in place and volunteer surgeons are ready to Clitoraid released a statement on Tuesday saying the government revoked its authorization following pressure from the Catholic Church, which they say is against the restoration of a woman's pleasure. Realian Movement and the Catholic Church have butted heads in the past, particularly when it comes to the issue of condoms. The spokesperson for a national conference of Catholic bishops in Ouagadougou declined to comment. This is not the first time clitoral repair surgery is being offered to victims of FGM. Doctors have been performing the surgery in private clinics in Burkina Faso since 2006. Doctors usually present the surgery as a way to relieve health problems caused by FGM, such as burning during urination, scar tissue or complications during childbirth. It remains, however, controversial, as many people in West Africa still view the removal of a girl's clitoris as a rite of passage. Many NGOs working to end the practice of FGM says the surgery could undermine their efforts, if people view it as a "quick fix." (( REST OPTIONAL )) Burkina Faso's Minister of the Promotion of Women, Nestorine Sangare, said there are other ways to help woman find pleasure besides the surgical reconstruction of the clitoris. (( SANGARE ACT IN FRENCH She says, "Sex education courses for women can teach them how to discover their body and learn how to have a sex life that is satisfying. The presence or absence of a clitoris isn't the end of the world." She says, "When she first heard about plans to open a "pleasure hospital," she was insulted, because such a campaign stigmatizes women on account of their sex life. Clitoraid says that more than 300 women have already signed up for the surgery, which will be offered free of charge. Sanon says the volunteer surgeons will go ahead and perform the surgeries in other, private clinics over the (( JENNIFER LAZUTA, FOR VOA NEWS, DAKAR )) Title : AREA 51 Type : SCRIPT-NEB Byline : Ken Bredemeier Dateline : Editor : dalet_admin (( Title: HEAD: US Acknowledges Location of Secretive Test Site, but Not Aliens PUBLISHED AT: Friday, August 16, 2013 2:06:16 PM The U.S. for the first time is acknowledging the location of a secretive aerial surveillance test site that conspiracy theorists have long claimed might be the home for extraterrestrials who have invaded the country. declassified documents disclosed this week, the Central Intelligence Agency showed a the remote Area 51 site in the western state of Nevada, about 130 kilometers northwest of the well-known gambling of Las Vegas. The CIA said it used the nearly 1,500-square-kilometer site from 1954 to 1974 as testing grounds for the government's U-2 and Oxcart aerial surveillance programs. The U.S. deployed U-2 planes, flying at an of 18 kilometers, around the world at the height of the Cold War, including over the Soviet Union. document released by the National Security Archive at George Washington University in Washington traced the history of the aircraft testing. It made no mention of the facility's role since 1974, the government is believed to be using it for testing intelligence tools and weapons. The report said the high-altitude U-2 tests led to an unexpected side effect -- a huge increase in reports of unidentified flying objects. At the time, government officials attributed the UFO sightings to phenomena. But conspiracy theorists in the U.S. have long remained skeptical of governmental pronouncements about the site. Tales of alien landings, time travel and meetings with extraterrestrials and other exotic about Area 51 have for years played a role in popular American movies, fostering even more curiosity about the site. U-2 played a prominent role in one of the Cold War's most celebrated incidents, the Soviets shot down American spy pilot Gary Powers in 1960. He was convicted of espionage against the Soviet Union, eventually returned to the U.S. in an exchange of spy prisoners between the two countries. Program Masters records, containing the keyword UFO.

The cockpit video of the attack was recently made public. The Romanian Defence ministry did conduct a detailed investigation into the incident but have been unable to make a determination of what attacking objects were. The four black shapes visible on the aircraft radar have been explained by some as UFO's and even taken on the impact of an alien invasion. Hindi TV invited NASA scientist Amitabh Ghosh to help understand the incident better. Dr. Ghosh explained that the shapes could belong to any particle matter and that for the objects to be classified as alien ships, the scientific community would need incontrovertible proof which in the current incident is unavailable. 13 Indonesian 1269 Q&A: UFO (SOURCE: CENTER FOR UFO STUDIES ) 9S 22:00:00 05:00 06/12/2001 14 Indonesian 292226 SCIENCE & MEDICINE : UFO ANNIVERSARY 5-604486 22:00:00 03:00 07/12/2007 15 Indonesian 321878 UFO Town (Lead) TVCN, APTN, ABCN1, CNN, 16 Indonesian 321878 UFO Town (Pkg) ABCN1:GMATexasUFOSPKG TVCN, APTN, ABCN1, CNN, 17 Korean 469743 MOST POPULAR SEARCHES 1.
