The delegates of the International Committee of the Red Cross who have been in Addis Ababa for several weeks have not yet been authorized to go to Asmara. To the ICRC's offers to provide the victims of the conflict in Eritrea with assistance and protection, the Ethiopian Minister for Foreign Affairs has replied that the Government has the situation in hand and that there is no emergency. The ICRC is still prepared to play its traditional humanitarian role on behalf of the victims of the present conflict: the wounded and the sick, prisoners, and the civilian population.

The International Committee of the Red Cross has been working actively to come to the help of the apparently numerous victims of the troubles in the Congo. Its efforts have been concentrated particularly on bringing assistance to the civilian population of Stanleyville and the other regions opposed to the Government in Léopoldville. However, the extreme confusion which has been prevailing generally has given rise to some very complex problems. It was for instance difficult even to make contact with the leaders of the insurrection.
