During our visit to M’Bera camp, we had the opportunity to talk to camp residents and to hear their concerns and hopes. My colleagues and I expressed our respect for the courage with which the residents are dealing with the difficulties of being forced to flee their homes in Mali; our appreciation of the efforts being made by the Mauritanian government, the UN, and their partners to meet the residents’ needs; and our admiration for the generosity, hospitality and solidarity of the Mauritanian people and their leaders who have assisted their neighbors during their national tragedy.
