Norwegian Refugee Council: Violence, Climate & Poverty Are Fueling Migration from Central America

We continue our conversation with Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council, who has just returned from Honduras.

North Americans, says Egeland, must honor the legitimate asylum applications for protection of people" from their own neighborhood."
