Today is #WorldRefugeeDay. I am spending it in Syria with some of the 600,000 people who have returned from neighbouring countries after 14 years of conflict. Syria today is where returning Syrians — given security, opportunities and support — can finally stop being refugees.

On #WorldRefugeeDay, thank you Filippo Grandi for your leadership, and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency for your incredible dedication and service to the communities we serve. History shows we have all been refugees, and suggests we will be again. Let’s respond with greater empathy and generosity.

A powerful argument on the benefits of refugee inclusion from Mamadou Dian Balde On #WorldRefugeeDay and everyday, let’s unleash the skills and expertise that refugees can bring to their host communities when given the chance. That’s solidarity in action.

#Ethiopia represents the positive trend in this region of many countries moving towards adapting policies in support of inclusion of refugees in their new communities, which benefit everyone. This is #solidarity in action. #WorldRefugeeDay The Reporter Andrew Mbogori

“We fled & suffered as refugees. The Sudanese welcomed us. Now, we welcome them with the little we have.” In Girba camp, Eritrean refugees open their homes and hearts to Sudanese families displaced by war. In times of crisis and limited resources, this is true solidarity. 🎥⬇️

War in Sudan is tearing millions of lives apart. UNHCR and partners are on the ground, but the response is dangerously underfunded. Now is the time to support people whose humanitarian needs continue to grow. unh.cr/6448ccc04

Heartbreaking to see the immense destruction in #Khartoum today, a city that has generously welcomed thousands of refugees. Huge work ahead to rebuild but authorities & partners are doing their very best to support. Our commitment to stay & support as much as we can stands.

مامادو ديان بالدي: "من المؤلم أن أشاهد حجم الدمار الهائل في #الخرطوم اليوم، هذه المدينة التي لطالما استقبلت آلاف اللاجئين بسخاء. طريق إعادة الإعمار طويل، لكن السلطات والشركاء يبذلون أقصى ما في وسعهم لتقديم الدعم. ويبقى التزامنا ثابتًا في البقاء وتقديم كل ما نستطيع من دعم."

When you visit countries and communities devastated by conflicts and violence, and listen to people forced to flee, you can only agree with late Madiba: “It is easy to break down and destroy. The heroes are those who make peace and build”. #Peace #Dignity #MandelaDay
