Non-refoulement is absolute & non-derogable. No exceptions allowed, no assurances from dfA can neutralize this risk. Torture remains a genuine risk in #Afghanistan. I urge the EU & its member states not to return Afghans to danger. @EU_Commission

[Inside Africa @afric_insde]

Ethiopia backed African liberation movements especially the African National Congress in South Africa by offering refuge, military training, and even an Ethiopian passport to Nelson Mandela during apartheid. Through the Organization of African Unity, it provided diplomatic, financial, and logistical support across the continent, helping legitimize anti-colonial struggles from South Africa 🇿🇦 to Somalia 🇸🇴 solidarity some say has since been met with hostility toward Ethiopian migrants in South Africa.

[Department of Refugee Services @DRSKenya]

The two pledged to work together to serve refugees and asylum seekers in Kenya especially on refugee protection and the implementation of the #ShirikaPlan.

[UNHCR Eastern and Southern Africa @RefugeesAfrica]

Data alone won’t protect people.

Protection & solutions critical where people are, at every stage of displacement, for real alternatives to dangerous onward movement.

The important thing is that no UN staff member should feel that their role in the organization is to represent their country. And their country should not expect them to do so.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

75 years on, the 1951 Refugee Convention still stands strong: protection, responsibility, humanity.

But today’s realities demand solidarity in action and real pathways to protection and solutions.

High Commissioner @BarhamSalih made the case from the @AntalyaDF.

“In the blink of an eye, we became homeless.”

Severe storms in Kakuma have damaged shelters & left hundreds of displaced families exposed.

UNHCR and partners are providing emergency assistance, but urgent support is needed as rains continue. Help now: https://t.co/U8fM9HziuQ

[African Hub @AfricanHub_]

Ethiopia’s access to the sea has been described by Thierry Mariani, a Member of the European Parliament, as a strategic necessity rather than a privilege.

He argued that a growing country like Ethiopia should not remain landlocked, citing its historical ties to the Red Sea, including the Axumite era and ancient maritime trade.

Ethiopia is the world’s most populous landlocked country and has been without direct sea access since 1993.

Police in Ethiopia have arrested a suspected trafficking ringleader. Yetbarek Dawit is alleged to have used torture in the multi-million-dollar international human trafficking ring that has lured thousands to Libya, where they hoped to travel on to Europe.
