Aid force aims for the heart of darkness

Article Abstract:

There are now more than 1 million refugees in eastern Zaire, and it will prove very hard for the international humanitarian force which is now being created to deliver aid to refugees to find all refugee groups, as they are scattered over a very large area.

It has emphasised the need for mission to assist the refugees to have a strictly defined goal.
