Last week in #Nigeria, we met with forcibly displaced communities eager to rebuild. Government leadership is crucial, and the private sector, alongside development partners, has a key role in finding sustainable solutions.

Aid trucks making it into #Darfur from Chad is great news.  We are working together with our partners on ensuring it reaches the most vulnerable who continue to face so much hardship due to the tragic conflict in #Sudan.

Today I met some of the 500 Sudanese refugees who arrive daily in the Chadian town of Adre. 61,000 have arrived in Chad since the beginning of the month. 223,000 since the beginning of the year. 700,000 since the start of the conflict. A tragedy which a ceasefire could stop.

Today in Renk, I met a Sudanese father, husband and lawyer. As always, conflict bleeds countries of their children, talents, professionals and future… He now hopes to build a better future for his family in South Sudan.

In Baoro, Central African Republic, I discussed with returnees both challenges and opportunities. Some 670,000, over 10 percent of the country's population, are still in exile. Their return requires security but also support for them to rebuild their lives.
