Last night in Dakar, I saw young refugee talent take centre stage, from the track and the mat to the gallery walls.
Refugee athletes, artists and partners united by one conviction: when young people are included, their talent shines.

A privilege to meet the Youth Refugee Olympic Team yesterday. Sport can create opportunities, build belonging and bring people together. These young athletes embody that spirit and show the extraordinary potential of refugee youth. Wishing them every success at #Dakar2026!

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

Leaving 🇬🇧 encouraged by the commitment to keep the Central Sahel in focus. Nearly 4 million people are displaced. Humanitarian aid saves lives; investing in livelihoods and host communities builds lasting stability.

Nearly 4 million people are displaced across #Burkina Faso, #Mali and #Niger, yet UNHCR’s Sahel response is only 27% funded.
We urgently need greater investment in protection, livelihoods and host communities.
This is the time to scale up, not step back.
