Solidarity runs deep in the human character. We can't afford to abandon refugees to hopelessness, nor their hosts to bear the responsibility alone. We need international cooperation & practical, effective responses. My remarks at the #RefugeeForum: bit.ly/2EnYLVR

🌱 Agriculture gives hope to refugees in the DRC. Today I met with South Sudanese refugees working the land in Biringi in eastern DRC. Over 2,400 hectares of land was generously made available for South Sudanese refugees by local authorities.
