"The visits to IDPs camps began with those outside the North-East; today marked the beginning of visits within the region and the need to rebuild the North-East is extremely urgent. This is why, as representatives of the people, we will continue to draw the attention of the world to their plight, and to seek the support of the international community in rebuilding the region."
