In Kismayo with returning refugees: going home after a long exile is a difficult, brave choice for some Somali refugees. Somalia is still fragile & insecure. But those who decide to return must be supported, so they can help rebuild their country. Photo @ggkenya https://t.co/9VlO5C3VQg

Education is the response to terrorism & violence. Education is crucial for returning refugees & displaced: a privilege for me to dedicate the Dheere Xaaji Dheere school with the Mayor of Mogadishu @ThabitMhd. https://t.co/ZNUAFaFb7t

Both President and Prime Minister stressed how important education & skills training are for Somali refugees so they can better help rebuild Somalia when they return. https://t.co/eDlL3qDYfB

Support to Somalia must remain strong as rebuilding of the nation progresses. I assured President Farmajo that UNHCR will continue to help refugees, returnees & displaced people, as it has done for decades. https://t.co/YUsJnJO4PU

Those fighting the war in Yemen should think of Yemen’s children: here are some of them, refugees in Djibouti, waiting for peace to go back home. For how long? https://t.co/tY557MgJFb

Yesterday UNHCR evacuated another 74 refugee women and children from Libya to Niger. Safety and hope for refugees stranded in difficult, dangerous situations. https://t.co/VvvL4jL9AU

Laying foundations together: the @WorldBank is funding a hospital in Ali Addeh, Djibouti. It will give health access to refugees+the local community. Cooperation with UNHCR grows here & everywhere. @JimYongKim @KGeorgieva https://t.co/uElfDYgjIw

Djibouti has always kept its doors open to refugees. And as its Prime Minister explained, Djiboutians are proud of it. https://t.co/8yXtMWcL0e

Education is a basic right of all children, including those who are refugees, say States in East Africa at IGAD conference in Djibouti. @igadsecretariat #WithRefugees https://t.co/fzY0ILsgnV
