Nine-year-old refugee from Syria takes over UNHCR BiH for a day

18 Nov 2022

Nine-year-old Yazan from Syria, who with his mother found refuge in Bosnia and Herzegovina after they escaped conflicts in their country, took over the leadership of the UNHCR office in Sarajevo for a day.

He is one of many children in Bosnia and Herzegovina who, on the occasion of World Children’s Day, took on the roles of adults and sent messages about their rights.

“Dear World, let’s make the world peace and calm and fun to the world!” wrote Yazan in his email to the world.

Let us listen to the children and learn from them.
