 Good morning distinguished delegates this morning. We have the honor and privilege of having our migrant voices segment of the council session Many of you will recall that we began this segment several years ago With the idea being to give migrants an opportunity to speak for themselves and to talk about their experience both The positive and the negative This year's world migration report of 2013. You will recall on the well-being of migrants Was an effort again to let the migrants tell their own story We were able to use a very rich orbit of polling data from Gallup World Poll as our private sector partner in that effort which polled 400,000 people in about 150 countries and if you read that report carefully There's a lot of indicators in there for policymakers as to what makes a successful migration policy and what doesn't So this segment has become an essential component of our council sessions bringing very valuable testimony of how migrants have Fared and how how their lives have been influenced and how they've influenced the lives of people in the countries to which they've migrated So it gives a lot of perspective from a migrants point of view and for the for the policy makers Which you represent? So let me let me not take any more of your time I'm going to turn this over to our moderator, but let me first of all introduce her and she will in turn introduce The migrant voices that we have with us today um, I had the honor and pleasure of meeting file about ebo in Doha and Qatar in an Al Jazeera interview here Year ago something like that Folly about ebo is a journalist for Al Jazeera's English program Based in Doha She joined the network in 2010 Having worked at the French news channel of France 24 as one of the senior anchors She's now been part of Al Jazeera's Stated goal of giving voice to the voice. So she's very very well qualified in her own right And we're grateful to her for making the trip here She has covered some of the world's biggest news stories all the way from the tsunami in 2004 to the election of president barack obama in 2008 And a lot of other stories that have dealt with humanitarian and immigrant issues from africa to south america and beyond I think it's correct to say that Folly about ebo is a migrant in her own right Having been born in Conakry guinea And spent the early where she spent the early years of her childhood before moving to Nairobi, Kenya She later then studied at Howard university and american university in washington And has then since been working in journalism Including with the voice of america, but now for three years with Al Jazeera I want to pay a particular tribute to Al Jazeera because I think they're doing some of the best coverage on matters either migrant matters or matters touching migrants lives. So Folly boy, it's it's really nice to have you with us and if I may ask you then to take over. Thank you
