Some of the words by Abdulaziz Ramadan in International Day of Refugees and Victims of forced displacement:

Ladies and Gentlemen!

No one leaves their home for no reason. No one wants to leave their home, their memories and their family behind.  No one wants their family to be torn apart.

Every person who flees because of natural disasters or warlike conflicts is forced to look elsewhere for a peaceful and safe place for themselves and their children.

There are countless stories like mine that are told or untold. Each person who has had to leave their home has their own story. Some of them have found a new place, while others have lost their way in search of a new home.

Their stories may have been lost, but not forgotten.

Today we are here to remember them.
