UN refugee chief visits DR Congo

In a four-day trip to DR Congo, UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi has called on that country and its neighbours to step up efforts to find "principled, just and concrete" solutions to the complex crises of the region and urged the international community not to forget the inter-connected plight of millions of refugees and internally displaced people simply because they are a long way from Europe.
