This is the moment when 189 refugees who had found safety in Tanzania voluntarily returned home to Burundi. For millions of refugees, going back home is their biggest hope. ✨

Today in the US Congress I held positive discussions with leaders from both parties on various refugee crises. I urged them to step up peacemaking efforts, while bipartisan support for the recent supplemental bill allows life-saving aid to keep flowing to millions in need.

Global attention to the Sudan crisis is waning; we cannot let this become another forgotten emergency. Sudan deserves the world’s attention.
