📢 On #WorldRefugeeDay, remember:
A refugee is not just someone who lost a home.
A refugee is a future doctor whose education was interrupted.
A farmer denied access to his land.
An elder denied the dignity of returning home.
#RightToReturn#JusticeForTigray@Refugees@UN@hrw
↪️ If displacement is not meant to be a lifelong fate, then the world must ask:
Why are so many refugees and internally displaced people from Tigray still unable to return home safely and with dignity?

A child belongs in school.
A farmer belongs on his land.
An elder belongs at home.
Displacement was never meant to be permanent.
On #WorldRefugeeDay, let us stand for the refugees and displaced people of Tigray & their right to return with safety, dignity,& justice.

A boy who dreamed of becoming a doctor now grows up in a refugee camp.
A farmer who fed his community now relies on aid.
An elder who built a home cannot return to it.
Displacement should never become permanent.

If displacement is not meant to be a lifelong fate, then the world must help make return possible.
Safe.
Voluntary.
Dignified.
For the refugees and displaced people of Tigray, this is not a political demand.
It is a human right.

“Being a refugee is meant to be a temporary condition, not a lifelong fate.”
Powerful words from @Refugees High Commissioner @BarhamSalih on #WorldRefugeeDay.
But for many refugees & displaced people from Tigray, temporary displacement is becoming permanent.

The 1951 Refugee Convention was built on a promise:
That those forced to flee persecution, violence, & conflict would find protection.
But protection alone is not enough.
People also deserve restoration, recovery, & a future.

Reparations are not charity.
They are about restoring dignity, livelihoods, homes, education, and opportunity to those whose lives were shattered by conflict.
Justice requires more than survival.

International law recognizes the rights of displaced people to return voluntarily, safely, & with dignity.
Years later, many families from Tigray are still waiting for that promise to become reality.
