Ismailimail 
He was a hero for our times, born to a noble family but with a heart for the common person – in his case the refugees of the world. Under his watch as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees the mandate was extended beyond Europe to the third world. Independence had come and the world was changing and he was there when displacements happened. Uganda Ismailis mostly think of Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and the Aga Khan as the people who rescued them from Idi Amin’s Uganda. True, but unknown to many people at the last week of the deadline there were still >3,500 people with Ugandan passports who thought they’d make a go of their document. Amin frightened them off. They threw away their pp. The Red Cross came and picked them up within a week of the deadline and took them to HCR camps. The Prince visited some of them. I am writing a book about Uganda 1972 and all that.
