@BarhamSalih The best successor to the best predecessor! Mabrook Dr. Barham!!

I am honoured to have been elected as the incoming United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. As a former refugee, I know first-hand how protection and opportunity can change the course of a life. That experience will inform a leadership approach grounded in empathy, pragmatism, and a principled commitment to international law. My foremost responsibility will be to refugees and others forced to flee—upholding their rights and dignity and advancing durable solutions so that displacement remains a temporary situation, not a permanent fate. At a time of record displacement and severe pressure on humanitarian resources, delivering on UNHCR’s mandate requires a renewed focus on impact, accountability, and efficiency. This is a shared responsibility. UNHCR will build on the important reforms undertaken in recent years to strengthen operational effectiveness and value for money. I will work with Member States and partners across the public, private, and philanthropic sectors to mobilize the capacity, resources, and collective will needed to reach those most in need. I am grateful to the Secretary-General, António Guterres, and to the General Assembly for their confidence, and to High Commissioner Filippo Grandi for his principled and tireless leadership during a period of extraordinary global challenge. I look forward to working closely with UNHCR’s dedicated staff, states, partners, host communities, and, most importantly, refugees themselves to advance protection and durable solutions fit for both the promise and the perils of the 21st century.

Insightful side event at #RefugeeForum Review showing how development actors are critical to the future of #Sudan & its neighbors receiving refugees. As @FilippoGrandi noted, “strong humanitarian & development support bring solutions & hope to millions affected by the crisis.”

Millions of Syrians remain displaced in the region. Solutions are in sight for many, but are not a given. In Berlin, @MariaSt_UNHCR and I met @BMZ_Bund & @AA_stabilisiert . Germany always has been an important partner throughout this huge displacement crisis. Now, more than ever, is a crucial time for continuing our joint work.

Gold is a gift from God — but in Sudan, it has become a curse. In less than three years, gold revenues have displaced millions, killed tens of thousands, and destroyed Sudan’s capacities and infrastructure. STOP importing or buying blood gold from Sudan. 🛑 #StopBloodGold #GoldCurseSudan #SudanBleedsGold #JusticeForSudan #WhenGoldKills #HumanityOverProfit الذهب هدية من الله، لكن في السودان أصبح لعنة. في أقل من ثلاث سنوات، أدت عائدات الذهب إلى تهجير الملايين، وقتل عشرات الآلاف، وتدمير قدرات السودان وبنيته التحتية. 🛑 أوقفوا استيراد أو شراء الذهب الملطخ بالدماء من السودان. #أوقفوا_ذهب_الدم #لعنة_الذهب #السودان_ينزف_ذهباً #العدالة_للسودان #عندما_يقتل_الذهب

At #ExCom side event on #Sudan and #Sahel crises, government & development partners emphasized the need for solutions from the start of an emergency, sharing best practices, challenges & opportunities empowering those forced to flee & their hosts to live more dignified lives.

Commemorating the UN@80, a powerful tribute to the 🇺🇳UN peacekeepers, diplomats, and staff across the world. Ahead of the gathering of world leaders on Monday, we celebrate 80 years of the tireless work and unwavering dedication of our UN colleagues.

80 years on, the UN navigates the rough waters to serve humanity and protect our planet. Not perfect — but indispensable. The Charter is still our guide, the SDGs our toolbox, and peace, dignity, and justice for all our shared purpose. #UN80

"Anything & everything is possible when we stand united.” @antonioguterres joined @AminaJMohammed , @un_pga, UN officials, staff & delegates as well as renowned singer @TiwaSavage & other performers for a special #UN80 commemoration in the #UNGA hall. un.org/sg/en/content/…

I have just chaired with Yacoub El Hillo (UN DCO) the Development Partners Group mtg on #Sudan, calling for support to Sudanese who have opted to return to safer but still devastated areas. More solidarity & investments are required. #PeaceinSudan developmentactionrefugees.org

Let #FFD4 be remembered as a conference where the world chose cooperation over fragmentation, unity over division and action over inertia.

At the @Yes_Summit in #Marrakech, @FelipePaullier, the ASG for @UNYouthAffairs, expressed the @UN's full support for youth-led solutions. He highlighted the transformative creativity and commitment of #Africa's youth in shaping an inclusive future for all. #YouthEmpowerment #NEET

#Sudan's illicit gold trade fuels atrocities and deepens its humanitarian crisis. The Biden Admin has not acted decisively to hold foreign entities accountable for funding the civil war. Stronger measures are overdue. foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…

I spoke with ⁦@AFP⁩ & warned that 20 months into the #Sudan crisis, refugee & internally displaced numbers only continue to grow, with regional & global consequences. Redoubling the search for peace & supporting affected populations are the answers. barrons.com/news/un-warns-…

The doctrine of the Hijab in Islam is well intentioned to protect women. Islam does not prescribe the death penalty for non-compliance of wearing the Hijab. Islam is a religion of Peace in which women are highly valued by the Muslim Ummah. Let’s not distort our religion but promote its intentions as dictated by the Holy Quran and the teachings of the Prophet PBUH. #Islamvalueswomen

@AminaJMohammed sets tone in address to 1st PrepCom session for the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development in Addis. #SDGs acceleration can't wait urgency and ambition is a must. #Ethiopia #FfD4 @UNEthiopia @hillo_el @parfait_onanga @ECA_OFFICIAL @UN_SDG
