As repatriation efforts for Burundian refugees from Tanzania accelerate, concerns are growing over reports of coercive measures, shelter demolitions and mistreatment during the return process, amid warnings that some refugees may still need international protection.Bahia Egeh, External Relations Officer with the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, stressed that returns under the tripartite agreement with Burundi and Tanzania must be carried out in safety and dignity, and based on free and informed choice rather than pressure.UN News's Edouard de Bray started by asking her to explain why Burundian refugees in Tanzania are being repatriated. 

Vier Jahre nach Kriegsbeginn leben rund 1,3 Millionen Ukrainerinnen und Ukrainer hierzulande. Viele finden schneller Arbeit als frühere Flüchtlingsgruppen. Doch auffällig viele sind überqualifiziert, arbeiten im Niedriglohnsektor oder stocken mit Bürgergeld auf. In dieser Folge von Zehn Minuten Wirtschaft schauen wir auf aktuelle Zahlen des Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) und des UNHCR. Warum gelingt die Integration vergleichsweise schnell? Welche Rolle spielen Sprachkurse, Jobcenter und Bildung? Und was bedeutet der beschlossene „Rechtskreiswechsel“ für hunderttausende Menschen? Wird jetzt auf „Work first“ umgestellt – also schnelle Jobs statt langfristiger Qualifizierung? Und spart Deutschland damit womöglich an der falschen Stelle? Antworten gibts bei uns!

Suzanne Ehlers In this episode, Dr. Rob Harter sits down with Suzanne Ehlers, Executive Director and CEO of USA for UNHCR (the fundraising partner of the UN Refugee Agency), to explore how women are reshaping philanthropy—and how nonprofits can better design giving models that reflect who is actually driving decisions. Suzanne shares why traditional fundraising approaches often haven't been built with women at the center, even though women influence the vast majority of giving decisions and are poised to inherit a significant portion of global wealth. (UNHCR) Suzanne also unpacks USA for UNHCR's women-led campaign, Building Better Futures, a $15M initiative that supports refugee women through higher-education scholarships via UNHCR's DAFI program. Together, Rob and Suzanne discuss how relationship-based philanthropy, authentic storytelling, and flexible program delivery can create deeper donor engagement and more durable impact for refugee women and girls. (UNHCR) Key Topics Include: Why philanthropy models must evolve to match who drives giving decisions—and why women's leadership in giving matters How Building Better Futures centers women “soup to nuts”: donor voice, decision-making, and impact priorities The power shift from transactional fundraising to relationship-driven philanthropy and shared purpose How USA for UNHCR is helping sustain and expand the DAFI Scholarship Programme for refugee higher education Closing the gender gap in refugee education by intentionally prioritizing women scholars Storytelling that's “by and for” women—using authentic refugee voices to inspire action Why flexibility (host-country study, support systems, and virtual options) is essential for education programs in refugee contexts Mentioned in This Episode: USA for UNHCR (UN Refugee Agency fundraising partner): https://www.unrefugees.org Building Better Futures campaign: https://www.unrefugees.org/building-better-futures/ UNHCR's DAFI Tertiary Scholarship Programme: https://www.unhcr.org/us/what-we-do/build-better-futures/education/higher-education-and-skills/dafi-tertiary-scholarship-0 Suzanne Ehlers on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzanne-ehlers Not Really Strangers Podcast https://www.unrefugees.org/not-really-strangers-podcast/ (UNHCR) This Episode is Sponsored By: DonorBox Links to Resources: Interested in Leadership and Life Coaching?

In this episode, I speak with Guillermo de los Santos, a humanitarian fundraiser whose career began as an unintended detour.After studying international relations with hopes of working in diplomacy, Guillermo found himself stuck in telemarketing. What felt like a dead end became an unexpected training ground in persuasion, listening, and human motivation.A chance opportunity led him to UNICEF, where fundraising clicked as a way to combine purpose, creativity, and data. From there, he built a career across organisations such as Médecins Sans Frontières and UNHCR, developing an approach to fundraising that is both effective and ethical.We talk about how people decide to give, the tension between persuasion and manipulation, and why asking for money in humanitarian work is often misunderstood.This is a conversation about detours, curiosity, and finding purpose in work you never planned to do.Recorded on 9 January 2026.Connect with Guillermo on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/guillermo-de-los-santos-msc-oxon-mba-6a739310.Instagram: @at.the.coalfaceAnd don't forget to subscribe to At the Coalface for new episodes every two weeks.Help us produce more episodes by becoming a supporter.

Safa Charafi, Founder and CEO of Urban Inclusion, challenges Eurocentric and colonial approaches to urban planning, arguing for cities shaped by local knowledge, lived experience, and fairer power structures. The conversation explores how dominant Western models have erased indigenous practices — and why true decolonisation remains limited under extractive economic systems.A central theme is feminist refusal: the right to say no to harmful or tokenistic development projects. Safa shares personal experiences of walking away from work that ignored community needs, framing refusal as an act of integrity, sovereignty, and care.The episode also highlights Safa's journey as a migrant urbanist, her work on gender inclusion, climate adaptation, and migrant integration with partners like UNHCR, and her advice to future practitioners: trust lived experience, share power, build community, and design cities with empathy and justice at the core.

Trong khi tình trạng không quốc tịch đang ảnh hưởng đến hàng triệu người trên thế giới, Úc cũng có những người không quốc tịch. Cơ quan tị nạn Liên Hợp Quốc cho biết có khoảng 8,000 người không quốc tịch tại Úc, nhưng các chuyên gia nhận định con số thực tế có thể cao hơn. UNHCR đang kêu gọi chính phủ Úc thiết lập một quy trình xác định tình trạng không quốc tịch (SDP), điều này sẽ góp phần vào nỗ lực đánh giá quy mô và hoàn cảnh của cộng đồng người không quốc tịch trong nhóm dân nhập cư. Tập thứ tư của "Belonging Nowhere" (Không chốn dung thân) tìm hiểu về Úc và cách quốc gia này giải quyết vấn đề không quốc tịch.

While statelessness affects millions of people around the world, Australia also has stateless people.The United Nations refugee agency says there are around 8,000 stateless people in Australia, but experts say there could be more. The UNHCR is calling on the Australian government to create a stateless determination procedure (SDP), which would contribute to efforts to assess the size and the situation of stateless population amongst migrant populations.The fourth episode of Belonging Nowhere looks at Australia and how it deals with statelessness.

The UN has a new refugee chief: Barham Salih is the former president of Iraq. He takes over as high commissioner for refugees in January 2026. Salih may be a surprise pick. The head of UNHCR, the UN's refugee agency, has almost always been a European. Just as rare: The new refugee chief has actually been a refugee. But does a change at the top really address the power imbalances refugees face in the aid sector? Revisit our series, Power Shift, which puts decision-makers – and those affected by their choices – at the same table.  In this episode, Hafsar Tameesuddin, a Rohingya activist and refugee, speaks to Raouf Mazou, a senior UNHCR official. They talk about passports and privilege, and try to find common ground. ––– Power Shift is an experiment in dialogue that puts decision-makers in aid and philanthropy and those affected by their decisions in honest, one-on-one conversations about the aid sector's inequalities. ___ Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube, or search "The New Humanitarian" in your favourite podcast app.   You can find transcripts of all podcasts on our website.

I think it's understandable.'MSF (Doctors without Borders) works in hospitals on the front line.Robin Meldrum, MSF, Ukraine: ‘Today I had electricity in my flat a few hours in the afternoon when I was at work, not here at home. The electricity is going to be off until about 11:00 until 2:00 in the morning. I'll have 3 or 4 hours of electricity tomorrow but it's wearing, it's tiring.'Aid workers share the risks with their Ukrainian colleagues.Robin Meldrum: ‘During the night there was a massive attack by Shahed drones and guided aerial bombs. One of the guided aerial bombs landed just about 35 or 40 metres from the two guest houses where our staff were living.'They share the festive season too.Marcel van Maastrigt: ‘There is a real effort to make it look like everything is normal, and to have the decorations, have the music outside, have the food. Sometimes people go to parties. It's nice to walk through town and see that happening. It gives some hope that this might in the end be better.'There are 130 conflicts around the world today, affecting millions of people. This holiday season, thousands of aid workers are staying put, hoping to make things a little better.Get in touch!

Raised near London by a Thai–Irish–South African family, he pairs legal rigor with practical savvy about how ministries, courts, and donors move. After abandoning an early push toward medicine, Patrick rerouted into politics and human rights, studying at SOAS and Sciences Po's Human Rights and Humanitarian Action program. He learned by doing: Human Rights Watch work on detention and refugee children; IOM in TimorLeste's smallstate bureaucracy; UNHCR in Lebanon at the height of the Syria crisis. After settlingin Thailand, he joined Fortify Rights in 2019, built monitoring systems, and now leads advocacy while training partners to craft evidencedriven strategies. Patrick's approach is simple and demanding: investigate carefully, argue from law, and listen first. As he puts it, “the most important people that I've spoken to about Myanmar are Myanmar people.” In Myanmar he sees a twotrack mission— minimize harm now and make justice possible later— because “if you don't reconcile the injustices that people face, then they will come back.” Fortify Rights has documented a pattern of indiscriminate airstrikes on civilians and protected sites—churches, IDP camps, hospitals, schools—often rising when the junta loses ground. Patrickcalls for an arms embargo and restrictions on aviation fuel alongside individual command accountability. The red lines are nonnegotiable: “It's never right to bomb a hospital, it's never right to bomb a school, it's never right to kill civilians in times of war.” Accountability, he insists, binds all parties, including the NUG, PDFs, and ethnic forces. He is also skeptical of sham elections and “safe zones,” urging instead a real Thai asylum system and sustained international pressure through the UN and universaljurisdiction cases. He also reflects on ‘the day after' the military's anticipated defeat, noting that they must avoid victors' justice while building institutions that can fairly try atrocity crimes. And as the global order frays, he reminds that Myanmar is a test of whether law can still restrain power, reminding listeners that “even if you're not interested in international politics, international politics will be interested in you.”

Dronele rusești produc victime tot mai aproape de Republica Moldova. Explozii la frontiera cu Ucraina au omorât o femeie și i-au rănit pe cei trei copii ai săi, care în momentul exploziei erau în mașină pe pod. Atacurile, repetate ieri și în această noapte, au blocat circulația către regiunea Odesa. Inspectoratul General pentru Situații de Urgență (IGSU) asigură cazarea cetățenilor ucraineni a căror deplasare spre Ucraina a fost limitată în urma bombardamentelor podului peste Nistru. Temele ediției: - Republica Moldova nu este blocată în procesul de aderare la Uniunea Europeană, dă asigurări Comisara pentru extindere Marta Kos. - Invitatul Moldova Zoom vine de la Bălți – este Ghenadie Râbacov, coordonator de proiecte educaționale, profesor, lingvist și traducător. Discutăm despre ce statut are astăzi limba franceză în Republica Moldova. - Un studiu arată că în autonomia găgăuză din sudul Republicii Moldova există o neîncredere ridicată față de mass-media națională, în special cea în limba română, și față de mesajele oficiale ale autorităților centrale. Cercetarea s-a concentrat pe Găgăuzia și Taraclia și a arătat că oamenii se informează în mare parte online, mai ales prin rețelele sociale, sau de la prieteni și rude. Locuitorii consideră că dezinformarea este o problemă serioasă, dar responsabilitatea este atribuită mai mult autorităților, politicienilor locali, Uniunii Europene și țărilor occidentale, și mai puțin Rusiei. Liliana Barbăroșie a analizat mai detaliat cercetarea și aduce amănunte. - Vladimir Putin i-a numit pe europeni porci. Televiziunea de stat de la Moscova a încercat să explice retorica lui Vladimir Putin. Ce acuzații aduce României și ce legătură are eticheta cu Republica Moldova, explică jurnalistul Euronews România Vitalie Cojocari în „Cronica lui Vitalie”. - În satul Mândreștii Noi, din raionul Sângerei, tradiția se lucrează cu acul, de mână. În atelierul soților Artur și Alexandra Oleinic, cojocăritul prinde viață printre piele tăbăcită, lână naturală și cusături bătute ca odinioară. Aici se nasc căciuli țurcănești, opinci și bundițe purtate de urători și colindători, iar pentru moldovenii din diasporă, ele devin mai mult decât un port popular, sunt amintiri pe care pot să le îmbrace și care țin aproape casa părintească și iernile de demult. Mai multe, în materialul semnat de Cătălin Volconovici și Denis Chirtoca. Știrile zilei: Dronele rusești produc victime tot mai aproape de Republica Moldova. O femeie a murit, iar cei trei copii ai săi au fost răniți pe un pod peste răul Nistru din sudul Ucrainei, pod care face ăcea legătura dintre Odesa și Reni. Guvernatorul regiunii Odesa, Oleg Kiper, a anunțat că cei patru se aflau într-un automobil civil care se deplasa pe pod în momentul în care drona rusească a explodat.  Podul de peste Nistru de pe traseul Odesa-Reni, a fost lovit de drone ieri după amiaza, iar Poliția de Frontieră a Republicii Moldova a anunțat că circulația în zonă a fost oprită și a fost suspendată activitatea punctelor de frontieră cu Ucraina Palanca-Maiaki-Udobnoe și Tudora-Starokazacie. Punctele și-au reluat activitatea în seara zilei, însă în această noapte un nou atac rusesc cu drone a blocat din nou circulația în zona podului Maiaki-Udobnoe, iar ieșirea spre Odesa este blocată. Pentru siguranța cetățenilor, toate mijloacele de transport care se deplasau spre Odesa sunt redirecționate și întoarse pe teritoriul Republicii Moldova. Activitatea punctului de trecere a frontierei Palanca-Maiaki-Udobnoe este sistată pe sensul de ieșire din Republica Moldova. Totodată, în PTF Tudora–Starokazacie, traversarea este permisă doar călătorilor care se deplasează în direcția Belgorod, Ucraina. Autoritățile de frontieră recomandă cetățenilor să se abțină de la deplasări în această direcție până la ameliorarea situației de securitate. *** Inspectoratul General pentru Situații de Urgență (IGSU), în comun cu agenția ONU pentru refugiați (UNHCR), asigură cazarea cetățenilor ucraineni a căror deplasare spre Ucraina a fost limitată în urma bombardamentelor podului peste Nistru. În scopul garantării siguranței acestora, Inspectoratul pentru Situații de Urgență a instalat în localitatea Palanca o tabără mobilă pentru acordarea sprijinului persoanelor care au ales să aștepte traversarea frontierei pe sensul de ieșire spre Ucraina, prin punctele de trecere a frontierei de stat Palanca și Tudora. Tabăra oferă persoanelor adăpostite posibilitatea de a beneficia de hrană și băuturi calde. Totodată, familiile cu copii sunt îndemnate să accepte cazarea într-un spațiu dotat cu locuri de dormit, până la clarificarea situației. *** Republica Moldova nu este blocată în procesul de aderare la Uniunea Europeană, chiar dacă, recent, a fost vorba doar despre o deschidere tehnică a negocierilor, și nu despre una oficială. Precizările au fost făcute de Comisara pentru extindere Marta Kos, în cadrul emisiunii „În Profunzime” de la ProTV, unde a explicat diferența dintre cele două etape și contextul geopolitic care influențează deciziile la nivel european. „Moldova, de fapt, în trecut a primit deja invitația pentru procesul de aderare. De ce avem nevoie acum este de undă verde, cu alte cuvinte, de o decizie oficială pentru a putea deschide toate clusterele. Însă, de fapt, nu există nicio diferență pentru lucrurile pe care le are de făcut Republica Moldova”, a declarat Marta Kos. Potrivit acesteia, esențial nu este momentul formal al deschiderii oficiale, ci livrarea reformelor necesare pentru alinierea legislației naționale la acquis-ul comunitar. „Întrebarea, de fapt, constă în cât de rapid puteți promova aceste reforme. Ați început acest proces împreună cu Ucraina, acum nu este momentul să vă decuplăm. Când procesul va fi inițiat, el va fi în totalitate bazat pe merite și vom vedea ce se va întâmpla”, a conchis Marta Kos. *** Narațiuni care contestă integrarea europeană, legitimitatea autorităților și direcția geopolitică a Republicii Moldova sunt promovate constant pe YouTube, inclusiv în afara campaniilor electorale. Constatarea apare într-un raport de monitorizare publicat de Centrul pentru Jurnalism Independent, care arată că aceste mesaje rămân stabile și recurente în spațiul online, transmite IPN. Raportul arată că cele mai frecvente mesaje false susțin că integrarea europeană ar dăuna oamenilor și economiei, că în stat ar avea loc represiuni politice și cenzură, că opoziția ar fi persecutată, iar autoritățile nu ar fi legitime. Alte narațiuni promovează ideea că aderarea la UE reduce autonomia statelor mici, amenință identitățile culturale și valorile tradiționale sau că NATO ar atrage Moldova într-un război. Narațiunile au fost folosite intens în cadrul campaniei electorale pentru alegerile din Republica Moldova, cele parlamentare din toamna acestui an, dar și cele prezidențiale din 2024, iar autoritățile au declarat că în spatele acestei ample campanii de dezinformare ar sta Rusia.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka nchini Kenya kwake Afisa Habari wa UN Stella Vuzo ambaye kandoni mwa mkutano wa UNEA-7 uliokunja jamvi mwishoni mwa wiki, alizungumza na Frida Amani, Mchechemuzi wa UNEP wa masuala ya mazingira.Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya Duniani, WHO, linasema aina mpya ya virusi vya mafua inaenea kwa kasi duniani, ikiwa imeripotiwa katika zaidi ya nchi 30. WHO wanasema licha ya aina hiyo kutosababisha ugonjwa mkali zaidi wa mafua, chanjo bado ni kinga bora zaidi dhidi ya madhara makubwa na kulazwa hospitalini na inawahimiza wananchi, hasa makundi yaliyo hatarini, kupata chanjo mapema huku ikionya kuwa msimu huu wa likizo unaweza kuongeza maambukizi ya magonjwa ya njia ya hewa.Tuelekee Bujumbura Burundi ambapo maelfu ya wakimbizi kutoka Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia Congo wamepatiwa hifadhi baada ya kukimbia machafuko nchini mwao. Innocent Chubaka kutoka shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia wakimbizi UNHCR aliyeko katika kambi ya muda ya Mugara katika jimbo la Rumonge nchini Burundi anasema “tumepokea idadi kubwa ya wakimbizi wa Congo ambao wamefika kupitia njia ya ziwa wakiwa na mitumbwi kuu kuu.Na kwa mara nyingine tena Kamishna Mkuu wa Haki za Binadamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa Volker Türk amezisihi pande zote katika mzozo nchini Sudan na Mataifa yenye ushawishi kuhakikisha mapigano yanasitishwa mara moja na kuzuia ukatili. Turk amelaani vikali mauaji ya raia zaidi ya watu 104 pia mauaji ya walinda amani sita wa Umoja wa Mataifa katika mashambulizi ya ndege zisizo na rubani kwenye kambi ya Umoja wa Mataifa huko Kaduguli, Kordofan Kusini, mnamo Desemba 13.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!

Good morning, This time yesterday I was sitting in a cosy barn in the Chilterns, surrounded by a herd of goats and a surprisingly well-mannered donkey. A friend had kindly loaned me his farm to broadcast a live nativity to forty thousand primary school children across the country. During the broadcast, we linked up with Kakuma Refugee camp in northern Kenya. Ajok, a 17-year-old from Sudan, explained what life was like for her there. She told us that her camp houses 200,000 refugees, and that each day she walks 5 kilometres to get to school, where she learns in a class of 130 students. When she gets home, she has to beg for food so her family can eat one meal a day. Despite all the hardship she is a young woman full of hope planning to graduate and become a teacher. A friend at the UNHCR, who runs her refugee camp alongside the World Food Programme and the Kenyan Government, explained to me that, due to international aid cuts, supplies in the camp are severely limited. Ajok's family have been categorised as “low need,” which means they now receive no food assistance. Ajok's Christmas will, sadly, be very different from mine. Yet it is her story that echoes most clearly the grittiness of the first Christmas. Her experience of being displaced is not dissimilar from Mary and Joseph's - who were forced from their home at the worst possible time. Her anxiety over the lack of basic necessities reflects the Holy Family's desperate search for accommodation in Bethlehem. It is no wonder that Jesus identifies with the vulnerable and the outsider. Matthew's gospel records him saying: “For I was hungry, and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you welcomed me.” Many of us miss this central message of hospitality to outsiders in the Christmas story. Some of us get distracted by the superficial, synthetic trappings of the festive season, others by the belief that immigrants are threatening our nation's Christian culture. Both approaches fail to grasp the core of the Christmas story and its call to open our doors, our hearts, and our lives to those who need welcome most. Mary and Joseph welcomed precisely those others would have turned away - humble shepherds and road-weary foreigners, sent to them by God himself. Little did Mary and Joseph know at the time that they too would suddenly find themselves fleeing across the border to Egypt - refugees reliant on the kindness of strangers. This is why, in this time of Advent, it is people like Ajok —those struggling simply to get by who have much to teach us. The nearer we draw to the real Christmas story, the more we see just how the true Christ of Christmas is still breaking down walls, restoring dignity and inspiring generous hospitality.

Hii leo jaridani tukiendelea kukupa taarifa mbalimbali kuhusu siku 16 za kuhamasisha umma kutokomeza ukatili dhidi ya wanawake, leo tunaelekea Mjini Hoima Magharibi mwa Uganda kusikia hisia za wanawake kuhusu ukatili dhidi ya wanawake mtandaoni.Watu takribani 100,000 wamekimbia makazi yao kaskazini mwa Msumbiji ndani ya wiki mbili, huku Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia wakimbizi UNHCR likionya kuwa mashambulizi yanaongezeka na kuyakumba hata maeneo yaliyokuwa salama. Mwakilishi wa UNHCR, Xavier Creach, amesema mgogoro “unazidi kuzorota kwa kasi ya kutisha” huku familia zikikimbia usiku gizani wakati watu wenye silaha wakivamia vijiji vyao. UNHCR inasema linahitaji dola milioni 38.2 kukidhi mahitaji yanayoongezeka.Kaskazini mwa Asia, dhoruba za kitropiki na mvua zisizo za kawaida zimesababisha vifo vya mamia na watu wengi kukimbia makazi yao, imesema WMO. Clare Nullis, msemaji wa shirika hilo, alisema Indonesia, Ufilipino, Sri Lanka, Thailand na Vietnam ndizo zimeathirika zaidi. “Tunahitaji kuzingatia kuwa Asia iko hatarini sana kutokana na mafuriko,” amesema Nullis, akibainisha kuwa dhoruba karibu na Ekweta ni nadra na jamii hazina uzoefu wa kukabiliana nazo. Indonesia pekee, watu 604 wamefariki, 464 hawajulikani walipo, na 2,600 wamejeruhiwa, huku zaidi ya milioni 1.5 wakiathirika na 570,000 wakikimbia makazi yao.Wakati dunia ikiadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya Kukomesha Utumwa leo Desemba      2 Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kazi Duniani ILO limeonya kuhusu kuongezeka kwa utumwa wa kisasa wa binadamu, likionesha kuwa watu milioni 10 zaidi walikuwa wakiishi katika kazi za kulazimisha au ndoa za shuruti mwaka 2021 ikilinganishwa na mwaka 2016. Makadirio haya mapya yanaweka idadi ya walioathirika duniani kote kuwa watu milioni 50 huku wanawake na watoto wakiendelea kuwa wenye hatari kubwa zaidi.Na katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili, leo mchambuzi wetu ni Dkt.

While statelessness affects millions of people around the world, Australia also has stateless people.The United Nations refugee agency says there are around 8,000 stateless people in Australia, but experts say there could be more. The UNHCR is calling on the Australian government to create a stateless determination procedure (SDP), which would contribute to efforts to assess the size and the situation of stateless population amongst migrant populations.The fourth episode of Belonging Nowhere looks at Australia and how it deals with statelessness. - اقوامِ متحدہ کے پناہ گزین ادارے کے مطابق آسٹریلیا میں تقریباً 8,000 بےوطن افراد ہیں، تاہم ماہرین کے مطابق یہ تعداد اس سے زیادہ بھی ہو سکتی ہے۔ [[UNHCR]] آسٹریلوی حکومت سے بےوطنی کی تعریف کے تعین کے لیے باضابطہ طریقہ کار، یعنی [[Stateless Determination Procedure (SDP)]] متعارف کرانے کا مطالبہ کر رہا ہے تاکہ مہاجر اور نقل مکانی سے منسلک آبادی میں بےوطن افراد کی تعداد اور حالات کا درست اندازہ لگایا جا سکے۔ اس پوڈ کاسٹ میں آسٹریلیا کے بےوطنی سے نمٹنے کے طریقوں، چیلنجز اور ممکنہ حل پر نظر ڈالی گئی ہے۔

This week, we unpack the major storylines emerging from the G20 Summit — the first ever held on African soil — where South Africa used its presidency to spotlight debt, inequality, climate, and critical minerals, even as the United States chose not to attend. With global development at an inflection point, leaders leaned into questions of how multilateralism must evolve as the global south asserts greater influence. With the humanitarian system stretched thin and displacement at record highs, we also examine the race to lead the UN Refugee Agency. A crowded field — largely European, with one notable African contender — is competing to guide the agency through a period of severe funding constraints and rising political pressures. During the conversation, we dig into what South Africa's G20 agenda signals for future global cooperation, what's at stake in the UNHCR leadership contest, and how shifting power dynamics could reshape the development landscape in the years ahead. To break down these stories and more, Devex Business Editor David Ainsworth sits down with colleagues Elissa Miolene and Colum Lynch for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.

The UN's high commissioner for refugees, Filippo Grandi, finishes his term at the end of the year. As with most top UN roles, picking the next UN refugee chief is far from transparent. What's different this time around? Refugee-led organisations held rare public forums with some of the candidates. Co-organiser Hourie Tafech joins host Tammam Aloudat to talk about the race to lead the UN refugee agency, how to make the selection more transparent, and what refugees want from a new UNHCR boss.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayoangazia siku ya Umoja wa Mataifa na tutasikia kutoka mashinani wananchi na asasi za kiraia zina yapi ya kusema kuhusu shirika hili kubwa na la kipekee linalounganisha nchi wanachama 193 duniani.Mashirika manne ya Umoja wa Mataifa lile la uhamiaji IOM, la kuhudumia wakimbizi UNHCR, la Kuhudumia watoto UNICEF na la mpango wa chakula duniani WFP leo yametoa wito wa dharura kwa dunia kuchukua hatua mara moja kukabiliana na janga la kibinadamu linaloongezeka nchini Sudan. Zaidi ya watu milioni 30 wanahitaji msaada, nchini humo wakiwemo watoto milioni 15 na wakimbizi karibu milioni moja.Mahakama ya Kimataifa ya Haki (ICJ) jana Oktoba 22 ilisema Israeli lazima itimize majukumu yake kama “anayekalia kimabavu” kwa kuhakikisha kuwa msaada unaweza kupita bila vizuizi na kwa kuheshimu haki za Umoja wa Mataifa na mashirika mengine ya kibinadamu yanayofanya kazi katika Ardhi ya Palestina Iliyokaliwa kwa Mabavu. Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa António Guterres ameelezea maoni hayo ya ICJ kuwa “muhimu sana,” akiongeza kuwa yametolewa wakati ambapo Umoja wa Mataifa unafanya kila juhudi kuongeza kasi ya misaada kuingia Gaza baada ya kusitishwa kwa mapigano.Nchini Kenya, wahudumu wa afya waliokuwa wakisubiri hadi siku 15 kupata malipo sasa wanapokea pesa ndani ya saa 72 pekee, shukrani kwa mfumo mpya wa malipo ya kidijitali uliotolewa na Shirika la Sfya la Umoja wa Mataifa WHO na Wizara ya Afya ya nchi hiyo.

America has a long history of being a welcoming, if imperfect, home to those who have been forcibly displaced from their countries of origin because of conflict. persecution, and violence.  And we are not alone. Nations across the globe have taken in more than 122 million men, women and children who have crossed international borders to survive. Some nations have developed systems that allow adults to start working right away, positioning their families and those national economies to thrive. On this episode of Power Station, I am joined by Suzanne Ehlers, Executive Director and CEO of USA for UNHCR (the United Nations Refugee Agency). Her unshakeable humanitarian values and understanding of the resettlement infrastructure, from government agencies to nonprofits and faith networks make her an outstanding champion of displaced families. We talk about Building Better Futures, a collection of women philanthropists who have stepped up to make higher education for women refugees possible, an initiative that will change lives, strengthen economies and create lasting social change across the globe.  Suzanne will shepherd this initiative forward under the current federal administration even as they constrain which nations we are welcoming. Suzanne and USA for UNHCR remains laser-focused and steadfast.

Millions of people today face dire medical and mental health challenges. What role should the church play in foreign humanitarian aid to address starvation and deadly illness? In this episode, Eric Ha, CEO of Medical Teams International, joins Mark Labberton for a sobering, hopeful conversation on global humanitarian crises and the role of the church in responding to both the physical and spiritual needs of those who are suffering. Drawing from his years at International Justice Mission and now at Medical Teams International, Ha shares vivid accounts from refugee camps in East Africa and migrant communities in Colombia. He reflects on the collapse of US foreign aid, the limits of humanitarian response, and the urgent need for churches to reclaim their historic role in caring for the vulnerable. Ha wrestles candidly with the calling of Christian communities to embody God's expansive love even amid staggering need. Episode Highlights “These humans that bear the image of the divine and the eternal, and the holy and the sacred.” “Last year, Medical Teams staff helped deliver fifty thousand babies—that's a delivery every ten minutes, somewhere around the world in these extraordinarily harsh settings.” “Finding the thread and kernel of hope is actually a lot more challenging.” “For thousands of years prior to the UN, the infrastructure and ecosystem for the care of refugees was the church. It was God's people.” “The gospel is an outward pushing invitation.… It is the pushing out actually into the far and remote places of suffering in need, and to see the presence of God.” Helpful Links and Resources Medical Teams International International Justice Mission UNHCR: The UN Refugee Agency PEPFAR—The US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Clinton Global Initiative About Eric Ha Eric Ha is the chief executive officer of Medical Teams International, a Christian humanitarian relief organization providing life-saving medical care for people in crisis worldwide. Before joining Medical Teams, he served more than a decade in senior leadership roles at International Justice Mission, advancing global efforts to combat human trafficking and slavery. A lawyer by training, Ha brings a deep commitment to justice, compassion, and the mobilization of the church in service of the vulnerable. Show Notes Global Humanitarian Crises and Refugee Care Eric Ha shares his journey from law and IJM to leading Medical Teams International Medical Teams founded in response to Cambodia's killing fields, continuing nearly 50 years of healthcare missions Primary healthcare for refugees: maternal care, vaccinations, mosquito nets, antimalarials, antidiarrheals, and mental health Serving 9 million people in East Africa, including Uganda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Sudan Refugee camps lack electricity, clean water, and adequate shelter—average displacement nearly 20 years Medical Teams delivers maternal care that dramatically reduces mortality, helping deliver 50,000 babies last year Healthcare and Human Dignity The crisis is not statistics—it's humans bearing God's image, glimpses of laughter, joy, and resilience Colombia: working with Venezuelan migrants amid drastic cuts in U.S. aid (down to 10% of prior levels) Withdrawal of foreign aid leaves communities devastated and forces NGOs to scale back Transition from justice work at IJM to medical humanitarian work brings both immediacy of impact and insufficiency of resources Hope and Despair in Humanitarian Work Theories of change at IJM allowed for hope in systemic reform; displacement crises feel harder to solve Challenge of holding onto hope in the face of preventable death and suffering Churches historically provided refugee care before the UN; today, withdrawal of aid exposes the need for church re-engagement Need to reimagine church-government partnerships in humanitarian response Empathy, Collaboration, and Mental Health Empathy as essential orientation in humanitarian work, easily lost without intentionality Competitiveness and survivalism among NGOs risks eclipsing empathy Mental health needs are massive: trauma among children in refugee camps threatens future stability Clinton Global Initiative highlights Medical Teams' commitment to expand mental health care for children in Sudan Training local health workers and communities to recognize trauma and create safe spaces for children Invitation to the Church and Listeners The gospel calls us outward, not inward—expanding our experience of God's vastness through engagement with suffering Churches must discern how to integrate humanitarian concerns without distraction, embracing their historic role in refugee care Prayer requests: for hope, for patience to wait on the Lord, and for wisdom in making hard decisions “We are invited into a different orientation—the empathy piece is so critical because it is the thing that allows us to engage.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.
