The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) said on Friday it has helped more than 40,000 refugees, mostly Sierra Leoneans, move from an unstable part of southeast Guinea to a safer region further north inside the country. The UNHCR hopes to complete the relocation operation, which began in early February, by the end of this month, spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Delphine Marie said.
