What a privilege to be in Dakar for this historic moment. Watching the first Refugee Youth Olympic Team march alongside athletes from around the world was a powerful reminder that talent knows no borders.
🎉 The Opening Ceremony of #Dakar2026 marked the beginning of a historic new chapter. All eyes turned to Dakar as Africa hosted the first-ever Youth Olympic Games on its soil. Alongside young athletes from around the world, members of the Refugee Olympic Youth Team proudly marched onto the Olympic stage. 🌍✨ @jojdakar2026 @RefugeesOlympic @Refugees #Dakar2026 #YOG #RefugeeOlympicTeam #WithRefugees #sportforprotection #InclusionThroughSport

Trop fière de cette équipe de jeunes athlètes réfugiés qui participeront aux Olympiques des jeunes!! Quelle belle cérémonie d’ouverture!
Fier d’avoir assisté à l’ouverture de #Dakar2026, un moment historique pour l’Afrique, et de soutenir l’Équipe olympique des jeunes réfugiés pour ses grands débuts. Une preuve de ce que les jeunes réfugiés peuvent accomplir lorsqu’on leur donne leur chance. #AvecLesRéfugiés

📍 Today in Dakar, UNHCR’s Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, Edem Wosornu, met with refugees who are rebuilding their lives in Senegal. From access to identity documentation to higher education through scholarships, these exchanges highlighted the need of creating opportunities that enable refugees to thrive and contribute fully to their communities. @EdemWosornu #WithRefugees #Inclusion

Russian shelling severely damaged Valentyn’s home in Kharkiv region, leaving it exposed to rain, wind & cold. Thanks to @eu_echo 🇪🇺, UNHCR is helping families repair homes and get ready for winter. For Valentyn, these repairs made it possible to live at home again.

Meeting Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband in London today was a powerful reminder of what refugee protection can make possible. The UK gave his family safety as they fled Nazi persecution. It also gave me asylum when I needed it most. We know first-hand that refuge can be both life-saving and life-changing. Seventy-five years after helping shape the Refugee Convention, we discussed how the UK can partner with UNHCR to uphold its legacy around the world — strengthening international protection, ending long-term displacement and supporting the countries that generously host refugees.

Listening to refugees is the first step to effective protection. In Burkina Faso, a crisis often far from the headlines, flexible support from partners like @DutchMFA 🇳🇱 helps UNHCR understand refugee needs and adapt its response accordingly. 🎥Hear from our Protection Officer👇

4 yrs into Sudan’s war, aid is still needed but it’s not enough. Development actors, donors & businesses came together at 3rd annual Sudan Development Partners Group mtg. Tangible ideas on better leveraging investments to help millions of displaced people & hosts live in dignity.

Welcome to Japan, our new leader @BarhamSalih Let’s get to work 🤝🏻
A pleasure to meet @MIYAVI_OFFICIAL, Japanese musician and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, in Tokyo. Since 2017, MIYAVI has used his music and platform to raise awareness of the experiences of refugees and advocate for people forced to flee. I thanked him for his longstanding commitment to UNHCR and his dedication to raising awareness and support for refugees around the world. I look forward to continuing our work together.
