IRB – Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (Author)
The President of the North Somali
Association of Quebec, the Director of Substance Abuse at the
Rocksberry Comprehensive Community Health Centre in Mass., U.S.A.
and another source in Ottawa (during telephone interviews on 25
June 1990), all state that because the civil war which started in
Hargeisa on 31 May 1988 was not anticipated, the possibility of
rescheduling exams prior to the war or of carrying out the June
exams seems remote.
During a telephone interview with a member
of the IRBDC on 25 June 1990, a former teacher in Hargeisa during
1988 states that high school exams were not rescheduled in
1988.
Corroborating information from published
sources is currently unavailable to the IRBDC.
