1. “Mr. Ben Mustapha (Tunisia) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, Mr. President, I would like to say how much we appreciate the fact that you have chosen Africa as the subject to be discussed in the Security Council. This reflects the importance that the international community attaches to the refugee problem in Africa, and it should encourage the international community's interest in giving more serious attention to this problem that can threaten stability of States, thereby threatening peace and security throughout the world, especially in Africa. I would particularly like to express my thanks and high esteem to Mrs. Sadako Ogata for her important address, in which she talked about the magnitude and importance of this problem and how to deal with it.”
