In this interview with François Reybet-Degat, we explore the complex challenges and strategies involved in managing and mitigating refugee situations, especially in conflict-affected areas. We discuss how various regions, including both state and non-state actors, respond to the influx of refugees, taking into account political, economic, and social factors. The conversation also covers international cooperation, humanitarian aid, and policy frameworks designed to offer support and sustainable solutions for displaced populations. Reybet-Degat’s insights illuminate the intricacies of regional responses and the efforts to coordinate effective assistance and integration strategies.
