For this second part of our final #SlowNews podcast on migration and refugees, we look at the Burundian crisis and the refugee situation in the Great Lakes region due to this crisis.
Through the voice of two Burundian refugees and the expertise of humanitarian workers and researchers, we give an overview of the highly underreported political and humanitarian crisis in this East African country which lead to huge migration movements.
Since 2015, nearly 400,000 people have been fleeing to the neighboring countries, mainly Tanzania and Rwanda, or continued to Uganda.
How is the situation for a Burundian refugee in these countries? How do the receiving countries and humanitarian organizations handle the arrival of hundres of thousands refugees again? Is there any hope for the Burundian refugees to go back to their home country?
Tune in for answers and learn about this "forgotten case", Burundi.

Are you feeling the Christmas vibe?? Like it or not, the lights are up and Christmas season is underway here in Aarhus and Bridget and Anastasia are live in the studio to talk about it.
With guests Julia, Jesper, and Galina we talk about Christmas traditions in Denmark as well as in Russia and Ukraine.
For some musical inspiration, as always we have a Spotify playlist cued up for you all prepared by Julia. Just search Planet Mundus on Spotify.
Want to see some typical Danish Christmas programming? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKRuvDJrMwA&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2j-qS9NYQQbN1zXVBek8lq3JlpOeVopct71WX6RwdLIUqGZg1AWn-buqQ
