75 years ago, the world made a promise to protect people forced to flee war, violence, & persecution.

We must renew that promise for the record number of people forcibly displaced.

I support the 75 global voices who promise to promote safety, solutions & inclusion. @Refugees

[UNHCR Uganda @UNHCRuganda]

None chooses to be a refugee.

Refugees want peace.

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

Our planet is sending us signals.  

Too wet. Too dry. Too hot.  

But listen, listen again.   

Do you hear something else?  

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we turn the volume up on the urgent signals the Earth is sending and how, together, we can act #NowForClimate.

📍#Uganda: For refugees arriving from South Sudan after long, exhausting journeys, this is the first stop.

“Every meal here is designed to restore what the journey took,” WFP's Moses explains ⤵️

As conflict and food insecurity force more families like Angelina's to seek safety elsewhere, more support is critical to keep this lifeline running.

Happy #AfricaDay 🌍

[Oxfam in Africa @OxfaminAfrica]

Africa has contributed the least to the climate crisis—yet paying the highest price. While fossil fuel companies make billions, families across the continent are dealing with rising energy costs, drought, floods, and hunger. #MakeRichPollutersPay

[Rwanda Is Open 🇷🇼 @RwandaisOpen]

DerrickSsenyonyi, every time you release something new, it feels like Africa takes one step closer to owning its story again.

Back to the Source, The Nile isn’t just a film, it’s a reminder that when Africans hold the camera, the world sees a different truth.

Your lens doesn’t just film Africa, it reveals its soul.

And as always, Rwanda is ready for you.
The hills keep a special place for those who love Africa this deeply. 🇷🇼🏔️
