Forty-one NGOs have sent a letter to US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and National Security Adviser Sandy Berger calling for “more meaningful action for peace” on the part of the US.
In the letter, Reynold Levy, president of the International Rescue Committee, noted the “stark contrast between the attention and resources the Administration is committing to resolution of the crises in Kosovo and Central America with its response to the desperate situation in Sierra Leone”. The NGOs urged increased US diplomatic involvement in the crisis and more support for ECOMOG.
