Despite harsh desert conditions and an increasing risk of smuggling, many refugees opt to take on dangerous journeys to the Gulf via Djibouti.
But barriers to certain destinations or longer distances changed plans enroute.

When conflict and crisis demand the world’s attention, stories of hope matter too.

Yes. Currently being filled with empty bottles collected from/around CBD + Nairobi metropolitan area. All these are plastic bottles that weren’t thrown in the place, by Nairobians. #TunaTakaTaka

Inside Refugee Integration Plan:

Last year, Kenya launched a bold bid to close Kakuma and Dadaad refugee camps and fold them into municipalities.

Can Kenya turn those camps into something better, and what will it take?

Neighbouring countries host the majority of refugees, often with limited means.
They shouldn’t carry this responsibility alone.

Support refugees and host communities. #GlobalTrends

Sudan has lost over 30 years of development progress. New UNDP-ISS analysis warns that continued conflict could push extreme poverty above 60% and deepen the country’s economic collapse.

In three years, 14 million people have fled their homes in Sudan because of war, half of whom remained in the country. Many are still on the move seeking safety. An incredibly huge cost on people & an even greater cost to everyone if the war continues. https://t.co/U72Fb4Efk2

[UNHCR Eastern and Southern Africa @RefugeesAfrica]

Nearly three years of war. Essential services collapsed. Millions have fled.

Sudan is the world's largest displacement crisis.

Don’t look away.

The UN General Assembly has adopted a Ghana-led resolution recognising transatlantic slavery as the “gravest crime against humanity,” passing despite opposition from the US, Israel, Argentina, and European countries.

[BBC News Africa @BBCAfrica]

The proposal by Ghana was adopted with 123 votes in favour and three against - the United States, Israel and Argentina.

Home is not something people walk away from lightly.

When people become refugees, it’s because they had no other choice.

Because staying is no longer safe.

Show your solidarity with those forced to leave everything behind.

I thank His Excellency Antonio Guterres, @antonioguterres the United Nations Secretary General for appointing me as the next Executive Director of United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the Director General of UN office in Vienna @UN_Vienna.

I appreciate the Secretary General’s confidence in my ability to steer these two important offices at the Under Secretary General level, at this critical point.

Coming on the eve of the International Women’s Day, this appointment is demonstrative of the UNSG’s belief in women leadership.

I sincerely thank H.E. President William Ruto @WilliamsRuto for the confidence he bestowed upon me in serving him as his, and the first, National Security Advisor of the Republic of Kenya, as Secretary to the National Security Council, and for enabling me to take this global assignment, demonstrating yet again his belief in Kenya making its contribution to the community of nations.

I look forward to serving at this new mandate diligently and flying Kenya’s flag high, to the best of my ability.

Thank You Kenya for preparing me to serve humanity!

Burundi is hosting thousands fleeing DRC, while also welcoming more of its own nationals from across the region.
But conditions in departure & reception are extremely challenging.
Support to refugees & returnees, & respecting refugee choices are essential. https://t.co/Pljrfcafwe

More than 1000 days of war in #Sudan has left millions of lives shattered.

I spoke w/ BBC's @WaihigaMwaura on why now is the time to step up support for our Sudanese brothers & sisters & all those impacted from this senseless war, until peace prevails. #KeepEyesOnSudan

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

On his first official visit as UN High Commissioner for Refugees, @BarhamSalih today called for stronger global support to develop the solutions refugees need to rebuild their lives.

[Mamadou Dian Balde @mamadou_dbalde]

Today marks 1000 days of war in #Sudan. A tragedy for millions of people impacted by this brutal conflict.

Days can be counted, but the continued suffering of our Sudanese brothers & sisters, & refugees they host is immeasurable.

The conflict must end. Peace & solutions. Now.

[UNHCR Eastern and Southern Africa @RefugeesAfrica]

1,000 days after the conflict began in Sudan, millions of people have been forced to flee their homes, creating one of the world’s largest displacement crises.

Behind every data point is a family, a future on hold, and an urgent need for support.

#SudanCrisis #1000days

[UNHCR Eastern and Southern Africa @RefugeesAfrica]

1,000 days.

That’s how long Millions of people have lived through conflict, displacement, loss, and uncertainty.

The crisis in Sudan is far from over.

Solidarity, protection, and sustained support are needed now more than ever.
