On #WorldRefugeeDay, from Ura Refugee Site in Benishangul-Gumuz, alongside UNHCR High Commissioner Barham Salih, government leaders, the AU, ambassadors, donors& partners, we reaffirmed a simple but powerful commitment: We stand with refugees—until everyone is safe.
#WithRefugees
This morning in Addis Ababa, @UNHCREthiopia convened Ethiopia's top private sector leaders in the presence of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees @BarhamSalih to turn refugee inclusion into real business opportunity. “Refugees are partners, not a burden.”
"Weaponization of this refugee issue is not the way to solve it.
It's not the moral thing. It's not the humane thing. And I don't think it is entirely smart either.”
Ahead of #WorldRefugeeDay High Commissioner @BarhamSalih joined @CNN's @zainasher for an important interview.

The right to seek safety saves lives.
75 years after the Refugee Convention, the promise of protection for people forced to flee war, violence & persecution remains as important as ever.
Until everyone is safe, we will keep showing up.

On #WorldRefugeeDay, we honour the resilience & courage of people forced to flee. Together with @NigeriaGov, dev't partners, & communities, we can ensure that everyone has the chance to live in safety, dignity, & hope. Let's invest more in #DurableSolutions that #LeaveNoOneBehind
Humanitarians have prioritized 87 million people facing the most severe needs. Not because suffering has decreased, but because resources have.
Budgets are choices. They determine whether clinics stay open, children learn and families survive.
Every dollar can save lives.
We will listen. We will act. We will refuse to look away.
Today is #WorldRefugeeDay. It is a reminder to join in solidarity with people forced to flee.
No matter who they are or where they come from.
