Thorns among roses at Dukwi refugee camp

A refugee is someone who is outside their home country because they have suffered (or feared) persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, or political opinion; because they are a member of a persecuted social category of persons; or because they are fleeing a war, according to Wikipedia.

Said the Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-Moon about the Refugee Day: “Most of the world’s refugees - 86 per cent -- live in the developing world, compared to 70 per cent 10 years ago. Most of these countries have kept their doors open to people in search of safety, and have shown a generosity that is often well beyond their means.
