The American people have shown their generosity by extending substantial amounts of aid to droughtstricken Africa. there is no reason why American generosity should not extend to the equally severe tragedy in Afghanistan. where such aid would be consistent with our foreign policy objectives. There is a similar repression of basic human rights in Nicaragua. Thousands of Nicaraguans have sought refuge in Costa Rica and Honduras. and many thousands more have become internal refugees. While all groups have suffered. the Miskito Indians have become the symbol of the Sandinistas intolerance of social and political diversity. The Miskitoes have been relocated in concentration camps far from their homes.
