AlHijjah 5, 1435, Sep 29, 2014, SPA -- U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Antonio Guterres said Monday that the international community must not forget about humanitarian crises in Africa and called for a renewed commitment to preventing conflict and ending displacement. "With more than 3 million refugees, 12.5 million internally displaced, and some 700,000 stateless people in Africa, the continent represents the largest challenge for UNHCR in terms of capacity and financial requirements," Guterres told delegates in Geneva at a high-level meeting on African refugees. Guterres said that new conflicts in the Central African Republic, northern Nigeria, Libya, and South Sudan has displaced more than 2.5 million people during the first six months of this year alone.
