“Siriri (Peace)” - A song for Refugees

In June 2021, while public events and gatherings were curtailed due to covid-19, UNHCR Cameroon liaised with the Afropop musician Magasco, to offer a live Facebook concert that reached 100,000 people on social media on World Refugee Day. The highlight of that concert was the premier of Siriri, a song dedicated to refugees, written and performed by Magasco.
To raise attention, advocate, and trigger local awareness about the situation of refugees in Cameroon, UNHCR again partnered with Afropop star Magasco to produce a video clip of Siriri.
The video was shot in the Gado refugee settlement in Cameroon’s East Region, portraying the lives of refugees, the work of UNHCR and the contributions of generous supporters who have come to aid of forcibly displaced persons.
