Indonesia must do more to control W. Timor militias, Ogata says

GENEVA, Switzerland - U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Sadako Ogata meets Kyodo News for an interview on Sept. 29. Ogata said Jakarta's efforts to improve security in West Timor, where three UNHCR workers were slain earlier this month, are still insufficient to warrant a resumption of humanitarian assistance in the region. September was a difficult month for Ogata, who has served as UNHCR since 1991. On Sept. 17, a day after her 73rd birthday, another UNHCR employee was killed in Guinea.
