Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Fatima Bayoud, a Syrian refugee (top right) has her child, Ibtihaj vaccinated as they seek assistance from UNHCR, at refugee registration center near Tripoli, Lebanon on June 2, 2014.
As the civil war in Syria enters its fifth year, an estimated 8 million citizens have been forced to flee their homes, becoming displaced internally or seeking refuge outside the country. Nearly 4 million refugees have settled in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt with little prospect of returning home on the horizon. We talk with a UNHCR representative just back from a month in Lebanon about the situation on the ground.
Guests
- Brian Hansford Senior Communications Officer, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
