A big win for International Refugee Law once again as the Court upholds the principle of non-refoulment & quashes the directive by the Kenyan Government that had imposed a blanket ban on registration of refugees from Ethiopia and Eritrea.. Big win for the rule of law and international human rights..🥳🙏 Cc my team of lawyers @_ngaowilson @ninah_zahira 🥳 #refugeelaw #internationalhumanrights

One year ago today, the RSF captured El Fasher. This week brought new evidence that the terror hasn’t ended, Geneva talks with no ceasefire, and an Emirati bid to lead the UN. Last December I sat with El Fasher’s survivors in eastern Chad. 🧵

BIG: Algeria approved the deployment of army units to Niger, the country’s first official foreign troop deployment since it sent forces to support Egypt in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
The troops are set to deploy to Madama in northern Niger, near the Libyan border, at a former French base used during Operation Barkhane.
The mission is described as limited to securing oil and energy facilities, including Algerian state energy company Sonatrach’s Kafra oil block, rather than combat.

🇪🇹🇪🇷 - The situation in Zalambessa, Adigrat direction, along the Ethiopia-Eritrea border, has become incredibly tense over the past few hours.
Eritrea's military, EDF, is positioned in the northern outskirts of the town, as well as areas north of the town.
Ethiopian forces, ENDF, have set up checkpoints south of the town preventing anyone from evacuating towards Fadi or Adigrat.
The town itself is uncontrolled by either side. Locals report looting, closure of most shops, and most essential food has run out.

Perhaps one of the few times prima facie processing of asylum claims has become a controversial issue in interstate relations.
Eritrea - UK immigration challenges following #Eritrea's protestation of UK's Prima facie processing of asylum claims from Eritrean nationals. Consequently, Eritrea suspends Assisted Voluntary Returns of failed asylum seekers from the UK- questioning their "voluntariness."

Kenya's Refugee Advisory Committee was created to give refugees a voice in policy. It currently has zero refugee members. The Differentiated Assistance Framework's origin story shows why that gap persists. regionaldss.org/blog/tracing… #DurableSolutions
