A historic moment: the Liberian authorities hand over to those of Côte d’Ivoire the birth certificates of Ivorian refugees born in Liberia as they return home. The greatest privilege of a High Commissioner for refugees is to witness the end of exile. https://t.co/WBr3uinDPJ

We were happy to spend the day with Ivorian refugees returning today from Liberia to Côte d’Ivoire. “Going back is difficult after so many years, but less tough because I am finally at home!” For us at UNHCR, nothing is more moving than witnessing the end of exile. https://t.co/mueqZ10dQs

Quel bonheur d’être avec des réfugiés ivoiriens dans leur voyage de retour du Libéria à la Côte d’Ivoire! « Rentrer après si longtemps est difficile, mais moins dur car je suis finalement chez moi! » Rien n’est plus émouvant pour nous au HCR que d’accompagner la fin d’un exil. https://t.co/vZcZseUdT3

First day visiting Côte d’Ivoire, filled with useful discussions with Vice-President Koné, Prime Minister @ACHIPatrick4 and Foreign Minister @Kandiacamara_Of about the planned declaration of the “cessation clause” for Ivorian refugees — thanks to the country’s renewed stability. https://t.co/2nA0YZxdsZ

À moins que nous n'apprenions à nouveau à faire la paix, le nombre de personnes forcées de fuir par la guerre et les violences continuera d'augmenter. Elles étaient 89 millions fin 2021, elles sont plus de 100 millions suite à la guerre en Ukraine. https://t.co/L3X8YvqNMJ

Unless we learn again how to make peace, the number of people #ForcedToFlee their homes by war, persecution and violence will continue to grow. We reached 89 million at the end of 2021 and we have gone over 100 million following the war in Ukraine. https://t.co/lYSmesGNel

Very happy to inaugurate the new alliance between UNHCR and @FCBarcelona and @FundacioFCB: because many good words are associated with football in refugee situations: inclusion, health, motivation, hope… Thank you, President @JoanLaportaFCB, for your commitment and support! https://t.co/nMVASvNRmq

Thankful for the invitation to the #SummitoftheAmericas, glad to witness the important Los Angeles Declaration on migration and protection, honoured to engage with presidents and ministers from the region. Let’s hope to see more women among leaders of the Americas next time! https://t.co/OZhtBremxl
