YEMEN TO SHOW EXPERIENCE IN ACCOMMODATING AFRICAN REFUGEES


SANA'A, Sep. 16 (Saba) - Yemen is to show its experience in
accommodating the African refugees in the 60th session of the
executive committee of the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR) to be held from September 28th to October 2nd.

Deputy Foreign Minister, head of the National Committee of Refugees
Affaires, Ali Muthana will represent Yemen in the meeting that will
discuss the development in the refugees' situations all over the
world.

Muthana told the weekly 26 September that Yemen's speech that he
will deliver would request the international community to pay more
attention to the mixed migration in Gulf of Aden.

He said that he will call on the international community to look for
solutions in this regard, including assisting the Yemeni government
to establishing new camps for refugees and qualifying coastguards in
rescue operations as well as setting up a vocational training center
for refugees.
