AID organisations said this week that the Guinean army was barring their access to the volatile Parrot’s Beak region, where they are unable to reach thousands of refugees amid reports of heavy fighting. A “security mission” of the United Nations, which was to have gone to the area on Tuesday, was postponed until Wednesday. Parrot’s Beak was declared off-limits to humanitarian organizations early this week, according to a source close to the Guinean security forces. – AFP
