Aid vital to avoid warlords' return
Kenzo Oshima, UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, said $777m was needed to the end of this year to pay for food and shelter for returning refugees as well as items such as police and army salaries.
He was addressing a Geneva meeting of UN officials and representatives from 15 donor countries less than a week after vice-president Haji Abdul Qadir was shot dead after his first day’s work as public works minister.
