Managing Forced Displacement in Africa

 

How Collective Efforts Can More Effectively Address the Surge of Refugees and Displaced Persons

 

Africa hosts more than one-third of the world’s refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs)—many of whom are fleeing ongoing conflicts in Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. This growing phenomenon impacts not only those fleeing conflict, but also the host communities and countries who now face complex logistical and humanitarian challenges. A comprehensive response to this problem must seek to address root causes, thereby preventing further displacement, and also find durable solutions for the many millions already displaced.

 

Human migration is a natural, constant process and contributes to the development of cultures and economies. But when displacement is forced—whether by violent conflict, poor governance, or environmental factors such as natural disasters or drought—the displaced often find themselves traumatized and vulnerable to physical and economic insecurity. And for those who live in refugee camps and host communities, the conditions are as diverse as the issues that drive displacement. That’s why, in acknowledgement of both the challenges of displacement and the leadership roles played by African countries that host refugees, the African Union has named 2019 the year of refugees, IDPs and returnees.

 

The U.S. Institute of Peace, the African Diplomatic Corps, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars hosted a discussion on forced displacement in Africa. The panel conversation highlighted African policy responses to displacement at the national, regional, and continental level, discuss current and anticipated challenges, and brainstorm innovative approaches.

I managed to be a big dope and left my hoodie back in Madison.

 

Since it gets chilly in SF (especially at night), I needed to track down a replacement.

 

I managed to find one (without a logo, even!) in the basement of some mall along Market Street. It cost $6.20, after tax.

 

To celebrate my thriftiness, I celebrated by buying a cream puff from the nearby Beard papa's. It was the first time I'd had one, and man are those tasty.

This rare bird I managed to capture a few shots by shear luck. I was at Springbank Park, London, this afternoon and was heading back to the bus stop. I was walking along the riverside path and low and behold there was mister duck. I had been up and down the river a couple of times between the entrance and the pump house. On my final walk along the river I was rewarded.

I managed to save two of my three Big Boy tomato plants. They've been okay for months, until the leaves got wilty. I realized that, duh, I was using a pot without drainage holes. I hope they survive this shock! I'll get a Lotus plant to fill the no-drain pot.

For a week, Lee and myself left the Hebrides in the hopeful search for a new home on the mainland.

 

We headed across Scotland to Aberdeenshire and back, so most of these photos are from this trip including the Isle of Skye.

 

We stayed at Glenside Stables, a stables managed by Lee's animal-mad daughter Abby! There we saw the grandchildren for the first time in months and of course the many animals including a Roe Deer.

 

This lovely wee creature was abandoned by its mother and is being hand reared by Abby. As a result, it follows her around like its mother, plays happily with the dogs and the children and will curl up happily with Theo, the toddler.

 

So thank you to Abby and family for your hospitality and here's a link to their Facebook page:
