“Cameroon, DR Congo and Burkina Faso are the most neglected displacement crises in the world.”
In a statement yesterday in Maiduguri, its Secretary General, Jan Egeland, said Cameroun was the globe’s most forsaken emergency for the second year running.His words: “Africa is home to 10 of world’s crises, with African countries topping the list in last five years.According to him, the continent is home to nine of 10 of the earth’s mainly deserted catastrophes.
On the worst hit, the scribe submitted: “Four countries in Africa’s Sahel featured on the list, and we explain why the Sahel region of Africa was a mega-crisis in 2019.”Egeland, therefore, in the document, attributed the predicaments to lack of political will, media attention and international aid. The NRC chief went on: “The deep crises represented by millions of displaced Africans are yet again the most under-funded, ignored and de-prioritised in the world.
Acknowledging that the economic shocks of the scourge had begun telling on the global economy, Egeland appealed: “We need solidarity with these conflict-stricken communities now more than ever so that the virus does not add more unbearable disasters to the myriad of crises they already face.”
