During the last 10 days in DC, NY and Brussels explaining why UNHCR and partners are assisting some Burundi refugees to go home, while insisting on continued solidarity with the majority who still need intl protection, I keep remembering faces and exchanges from my recent visit. https://t.co/HhpjmvSg8I https://t.co/62fTRkIqHP

Welcoming Burundian refugees home from Tanzania at Kinazi Transit Center with the Gov of Muyinga province and DG for Repatriation. Grateful to our UN and NGO partners for the collaborative effort. This continues as we work to mobilize more support for their reintegration. https://t.co/PWbmdzo2wS

Post workshop smiles. Excellent insights from @UNICEFAfrica and @Refugees colleagues from the East and Southern Africa Region on operationalizing the #GlobalCompactonRefugees. Refugee inclusion and community support are critical, as are partnerships and common purpose. https://t.co/adT8AOnED2

I think we woke up the whole neighborhood! Hopefully also created some awareness not only about the huge need for support, but also the incredible talents, skills and potential among the Burundian refugee population. #BurundiAppeal https://t.co/zet4oHnwrn
