70 years ago UNHCR’s task was to find homes for Europe’s refugees. Today we urge EU states to better protect those seeking asylum in Europe.

An effective, common asylum system with a practical solidarity mechanism is key.

Work on the EU Pact on Asylum & Migration must continue.

On Jamhuri Day, I @UNHCR_Kenya witnessed the ceremony where the President & @FredMatiangi handed the Shona & others, certificates as citizens of Kenya. This is a life-changing development for the thousands. Thx to the Government of Kenya's decision to grant them citizenship.

Refugee youth are remarkably talented. Among them there are dancers, musicians, actors, and amazing designers who have created trendy #COVID19 face masks.

All these talents will be showcased in Season 7 of Kakuma Got Talent. Auditions kick off this Sunday, 11 October.

When COVID-19 hit, Dr. Sofia had to make a hard choice between going home to her family or staying and delivering health services to refugees in Dadaab.
She knew what choice she had to make.
