He asked Ban Ki-moon to pursue the case at the UN and take proper action to prevent the boycott, and urged him to "decisively condemn this inhuman action of the western countries which is a betrayal to the history and humanity, and stop the sanctions on medicine and medical equipments"
...Already over 200,000 refugees have registered on the service, and the aim is to reach 1 million by the end of 2015. "Increasingly we see developers wanting to apply their skills for a good cause - this is a true example of Technology for Good and we hope to see the world’s most talented developers create new ideas to serve more separated families,” said Ericsson’s Elaine Weidman-Grunewald. The jury, including experts from both Ericsson and Refugees United, will select two finalists at each location. On World Refugee Day, a winner from each location will be announced. The three winners will get a trip to Kenya and will be invited to test their prototypes in the Kakuma refugee camp by the end of the year."
