Gates at Patrice Roberts' concert at National Stadium still closed, after advertising an 8pm opening. No music playing inside. Lights on the stadium field appear to be off. Crowd building outside. No explanation so far.

Yesterday, we announced another record-breaking year of forced displacement. A record we hoped to never break again.
In the run-up to #WorldRefugeeDay, let's work together to find lasting solutions for refugees and help them find hope away from home.
