"Equally, the level and rapidity of response to refugee
emergences in Africa must be made comparable with those in the rest
of the world. I say so because there is now a perception rightly or
wrongly, that there is selective application of standards of humanitarian
relief and different response levels where African refugee emergences
are concerned as compared to other regions of the world facing similar
problems." - Dr. Salim, October 16, 1995
Executive Committee of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees
