AUECHO:2019 Annual Magazine

Abstract

This edition of the AU Echo in line with the 2019 Theme “The Year of Refugees, Returnees and Internally Displaced Persons” examines the myriad of issues faced by refugees and how the African Union and its partners are working to not only address the issue of those who have fled their homes, but also identify and resolving the root causes of the displacement. This year’s theme also reminds us of the role we have to play as Africans’ to ensure that we not only provide a safe haven for those who are displaced but we also offer them the opportunities to live a life of dignity and self sustenance in our communities.
