At the Edge of War – A Mother’s Escape

Source: United Nations (video statements)

After more than 1,000 days of war in Sudan, millions have been uprooted. This is the story of one of them. “Nafeesa,” as we call her, fled the violence and found refuge across the border, in the town of Birao, in the Central African Republic. With support from the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), she and her family secured shelter and began rebuilding their lives alongside the host community. Security in the border area is reinforced by the UN peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), which conducts patrols and supports local stability efforts.

Nafeesa recounts what she has endured – and how, in exile, she found a strength more powerful than any weapon of war.

Preventing Jobless Growth

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

Forecasts of AI’s impact on productivity vary widely, from those projecting a 15% boost in labour output across advanced economies to warnings that as many as 92 million jobs could vanish globally by 2030.
