Refugees under the mandate of the UNHCR by country or territory of origin, 1984–2025. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 39 of the 42 years between 1984 and 2025 for Burkina Faso. The missing 3 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
