    The Rohingya are one of the most discriminated against and vulnerable communities on Earth. The Rohingya refugee crisis is a humanitarian and human rights nightmare. I thank Bangladesh for its generosity in hosting the refugees.

    Those shouting about a “refugee emergency” in Europe or America should visit African communities giving refuge to millions with small resources. Energies would be better spent helping people address problems here while sharing some of the refugee burden born by poor countries.

    Imagine that Uganda has stood for 60 years! And continues to have one of the most progressive refugee policies in the world. On this we thank Uganda & donors like for showing

    Today, on , we recognize the 60 yrs since Nakivale Refugee Settlement opened, and the plight of 66 million people worldwide displaced from their homes. The U.S. remains the largest single country donor of lifesaving humanitarian assistance around the world.
