CONFIDENTIAL
REFUGEES IN THE HORN OF AFRICA
Points to Make
General
1.
We are concerned that the continued tension in the
Horn still aggravates the refugee problem in the region.
HMG contributes as much as possible to the relief programmes
of the international agencies who are best placed to carry
out this task.
Ethiopian Refugees in Jibuti
2. The request Mr de Haan put to our Permanent Representative
in Geneva about the UK possibly accepting some of the
Ethiopian refugees in Jibuti will require extensive con-
sideration. We will let the UNHCR know if HMG can help.
