REQUEST FOR CONTRIBUTIONS OF IDEAS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE AFRICAN SUMMIT ON FORCED MIGRANTS
The Global Refugee Leaders Forum, which is a project of COJESKI North Kivu based in Goma, will participate in the Summit on Forced Migrants in Africa which will be held in Kampala Uganda at the end of November 2024. This Summit is organized by Displaced Women Network in Africa and will focus on Refugees and Internally Displaced People mainly refugees and internally displaced persons.
Under the theme: Exploiting local solutions to resolve the problem of Refugees and IDPs, the DRC is still behind in the International Forums on Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons. This summit takes place in a particular context where the National Commission for Refugees (CNR) and UNHCR continue to send refugees to Rwanda by force while the DRC has more effective internal solutions to their problems.
This is the first time that we have raised the DRC very high in a Summit on Refugees and IDPs, and we are very proud to represent the DRC, while other countries will be able to send representatives of the Government in charge of Refugees, our National Commission on Refugees will not be present and that is regrettable.
However, we regret that the Congolese Government has not given Travel Documents to Refugees in the DRC who should be in the Delegation and yet on the International Plan the DRC is still absent in this area.
Please share with us your ideas and suggestions to present the DRC as a country with sustainable solutions to the problems of Refugees and IDPs.
We also ask you to mobilize the Congolese Government to become a candidate to host the World Summit on Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons in Africa for the year 2025 which is currently being prepared and for which until now the organizers have not haven’t found the country yet.
Thank you so much
