Yesterday with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency in #Kenya and other hot spots/countries. Today a strategic dialogue with #Denmark @ HQ Geneva. Thanks to flexible support, Denmark helps address emerging challenges.
Together we respond to those in need & work on early solutions.
Tak skal du have 🇩🇰!
One year of the war in Sudan - a year of shattered lives, destroyed homes & families torn apart.
I just returned from South Sudan, a country that has had the most people arrive fleeing the brutal war.
The human impact deserves the world's attention. We need to #KeepEyesOnSudan .
Please read the op-ed from Filippo Grandi Martin Griffiths Cindy McCain Catherine Russell calling for immediate peace in #Sudan to avoid a regional calamity

#SouthSudan is among the worst affected countries - one year on more than 640,000 have crossed the border
Refugees are returning to South Sudan & life in these Pockets of Hope inspired us today in Torit. With support from South Sudan Government & UNSouthSudan, potential in this resource rich land is infinite.
Together with Diana Janse, we saw that brighter futures are possible with peace
In Renk today with Diana Janse, a South Sudan border town seeing more than a half million people flee Sudan in the last year.
Moved by stories from women, escaping violence with hopes for education & a future for their children. Thanks to 🇸🇪🇪🇺, we can respond to #SudanCrisis .
🤝 Grateful for the warm welcome back to South Sudan today. Meetings with VP Office of the Vice President: Gender & Youth S.S. & South Sudan Government ministers underscored importance of stability, resilience & solutions against backdrop of the Sudan war almost a year on. 🇸🇸 has received over 630k new arrivals.
Wishing all who celebrate, including those forced to flee around the world a blessed Eid filled with joy and moments of togetherness.
May this Eid bring us all closer to a future filled with peace, stability and happiness.
#EidMubarak
UNHCR is lucky to have an excellent partner in JAPAN Mission GENEVA to help us respond to enormous human needs, forge strong partnerships with development agencies & hold on to hope in a fragile world.
Arigato!
'I want to be a surgeon because I want to help many people who are suffering in our community.'
Millions of South Sudanese refugees like Maney wish to restart their lives, study and achieve their dreams.
Don't forget them.

I’ve been stewing about the starved response in Chad, state of our 🌍 & what’s at stake if aid agencies aren’t funded. We face impossible decisions to meet greatest demand ever seen there & around the world
My opinion about $$ for United Nations in POLITICOEurope

On this International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination:
Racism is happening, it is unacceptable and it must be stopped.
We reject and must #FightRacism .
Include refugees at the decision table!
Never to tick a box but to give refugees a voice & create a future together.
What a powerful call from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency Goodwill Ambassador @marymaker_43 at the #FragilityForum .
