This makes measurement and assessment of the performance easy,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the international community does not have a legal duty to obey; it depends on willingness,\u201d Tesfahun stressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we are not carrying the problems equally,\u201d he said, adding that the support to the refugees \u201cis not coming as pledged. It\u2019s decreasing from year to year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noting that COVID-19 could have created additional burden, especially in the past year, he stressed the need to assess the performance of all those who pledged to support the refugees.<\/p>\n<p>UNHCR Representative, Mamadou Dian Balde on his part said UN agencies and partners should pull heads together to support the Government of Ethiopia as pledged in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Noting that support is coming and being realized, the representative said, the support coming in to support the refugees in cooperation with the government may not be enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRefugees need support, the government needs support. The government has made very important commitment and I think support is coming. Support is being realized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, \u201cIs it enough support?\u201d he asked and continued \u201cPerhaps no, but we need to do more. We need to put our heads together, much more our expertise, our technical support and our financial support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ethiopia\">Ethiopia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ethiopia.
