Acted as
UN goodwill ambassador on February 2001. visiting refugee camps in many arab countries.
Some of his comments as an Ambassador:
"I was appalled when I visited refugee camps in
Yemen. A large number of people have moved there to escape from famine and war-ravaged areas in various
African countries,"
"It is pathetic that some
Islamic groups have built dozens of
mosques inside these camps. It would have been far better if they had built a hospital. These groups abuse religion to serve their suspicious purposes,"
"It is inhumane to ignore the plight and the suffering of the
Iraqi children and people. No Arab citizen can accept such a horrible situation in a a sister country,"
