UNHCR Regional Representative, LIZ AHUA made the call in Dakar, Senegal after a regional meeting with several West African states to discuss the Ivorian refugees issue.
The UNHCR official stressed the need to speed up repatriation efforts, with a view to give refugees who wish to return home the chance to do so in the coming months.
You will recall that fighting broke out in Ivory Coast in 2011 after former leader LAURENT GBAGBO refused to accept defeat in an election run-off against his then rival ALASSANE OUATTARA.
