Putting things into perspective - the number of people who fled CAR to the DRC in the last two months (92,000) is around the same as the number of arrivals to the entire EU in the whole of 2020 (95,000). https://t.co/q0miISkIG7

A big shout out to Iceland - acceding to the two UN conventions to end statelessness! Some positive news to end an otherwise tough week! Thank you Iceland! https://t.co/U90Lsbcmw6

There were less than 95,000 arrivals to the EU in the whole of 2020 (and numbers keep decreasing). Yet the issue of asylum is among the most politicized and divisive (for many - a fixation). With these numbers - for an entire region - this should be a very manageable situation. https://t.co/uGkGyz4q1o

“Asylum under attack”! Strong warning from the UN’s Refugee Agency on increasing pushbacks, expulsions and violence against refugees across Europe. Calls for urgent inquiries and monitoring mechanisms to prevent rights violations and ensure accountability. https://t.co/pfqnWgv4r0 https://t.co/AOkFo7viIL

In 2020 resettlement plummeted and refugees found themselves in limbo with no options to go back to the homes they fled while some countries decreased the number of refugees they accepted and put up obstacles to those trying to cross borders + seek asylum https://t.co/XoiYkHYgD5
