This was the assessment of Francesco Rocca, the President of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), after the first part of his four day visit to Niger. “It’s not a choice between security and dignity,” said Mr Rocca, at the end of his visit to Agadez. AdvertisementMr Rocca visited Agadez in northern Niger with Ali Bandiare, the President of the Red Cross of Niger. Localization is a key word: this is why IFRC wants to strengthen its support to the Red Cross of Niger,” said Mr Rocca.
