UNHCR raises awareness among refugees and asylum seekers following the declaration by Djibouti's Minister of the Interior of the new political strategy to combat illegal migrants. On April 10, UNHCR, in collaboration with ONARS and CIAUD , launched a series of awareness-raising sessions aimed at informing and sensitizing people under its mandate about the new policy strategy to combat illegal migrants, calling on all foreign nationals residing illegally in Djibouti to leave the country voluntarily and peacefully within a month. The aim of these awareness-raising campaigns is to limit the potential risk of deportation when controls begin, and to encourage them to carry their identity documents with them at all times. Refugees and asylum seekers needing to renew their documents are encouraged to do so for any expired or soon-to-expire documents
