The celebration included performances by Sudanese, Ethiopian, Burundian and Ugandan refugee performers. The Guest of Honor was The Minister for Internal Security and Coordination of National Government, Joseph Ole Nkaissery. Nkaissery said that this year\u2019s theme:\u00a0\u2018We stand together with Refugees\u2019, resonated with Kenya\u2019s quest to offer a safe landing to populations displaced by conflicts and natural disasters in the East and Horn of African region. Nkaissery said: \u201cKenya will continue offering protection to refugees and will invest in livelihood projects that benefit them directly. We will also engage our partners to address conflicts that trigger forced migration.\u201d Many other dignitaries and ambassadors joined in the celebrations as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0in 0in 15.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #332003;\">There was also an exhibition filled with a wide selection of products made by refugees \u2013 supported by many organizations.
