The $100 million should instead be rechanneled to fund the critically needed food aid to Africa. Southeast Asia. and the Near East. We are all familiar with the refugee situations that exist in Cambodia and in Pakistan. However. refugee problems have now become most severe in Somalia. Uganda. and other parts of Africa. More than 1.2 million refugees have fled to Somalia from the wartorn Ethiopia over the past 2 years. As you know. Somalia is one of the poorest countries in the world and with an influx of more than a million refugees. its depressed economy is in shambles. However. the Somalian Government deserves praise for its efforts to accommodate the refugees who fled from Ethiopia. Moreover. I believe that we must respond to this awesome crisis in Somalia and other faminestruck countries of the world.
