Jan Pronk Armed Quotations

This decision was taken due to the increasing instability in the affected areas, including a build-up of forces on either side of the border with increased potential for armed conflict.

Armed robbery and hijacking have endangered humanitarian workers assisting over 450,000 vulnerable people living in the area.
