Situation of refugees and displaced persons in Africa
Article Abstract:
The situation of refugees and displaced persons in Africa has aggravated to an alarming level due to continued conflicts in some Organization of African Unity (OAU) member states. This is based on a review of the refugee situation in the region conducted from Jun 1996 to Feb 1997. This problem is threatening the peace, stability and security in the whole continent. In regard to this, the OAU Commission of Twenty on Refugees has proposed several recommendations to address this problem.
