Description
Ornella, a 16-year-old refugee from Côte d'Ivoire who has been living in Mauritania for nine years, decided to return to Côte d'Ivoire. Ornella has applied for individual repatriation in 2021. UNHCR ensured that she exercised a free and informed choice and supported her return transport. Her decision comes as the governments of Côte d'Ivoire and countries hosting large numbers of Ivorian refugees signed a joint declaration on 7 September 2021 leading to the cessation of refugee status for the vast majority of them.
