Article-Summary: 

"The dichotomy of how refugees were treated in say, Guinea, versus how those from Kosovo were treated was totally unacceptable; unacceptable to spend less than US$ 20 million on 500,000 refugees from Sierra Leone and then ask for US$ 240 million for an equivalent number in Kosovo." These were words of a former US Secretary of State, complaining about double standards employed against African refugees.
