Searching more than 75 years of world history
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) issued a statement on Sept. 4 claiming that a lack of funding could bring a halt to confidence-building measures connecting Sahrawi refugees in Algeria and their relatives in Western Sahara. Since the initiative began in March 2004, a total of 154 visits had taken place involving 4,255 people. An additional 14,726 people had registered and were waiting to take part in the programme.
