Today’s #NobelPeacePrize Forum focused on Afghanistan — great initiative by the Norwegian Nobel Institute as international engagement appears to weaken. And a clear message from all speakers: we can’t leave Afghans alone. Not now. @AHuitfeldt @HillaryClinton @Zarifa_Ghafari

From refugee to NHS doctor on the COVID-19 frontline. Congrats @DrWaheedArian. My copy came through the post today on #WorldRefugeeDay looking forward to learning more about your incredible journey.

I am dedicating my memoir, #InTheWars which is out now, to millions of refugees & to everyone who believes in kindness. If we show refugees compassion & give them safety, like I received, they too can realise their dreams and give back to society. Let's share kindness.
