Refugees under the mandate of the UNHCR by country or territory of origin, 1985–2025. 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 33 of the 41 years between 1985 and 2025 for São Tomé and Príncipe. The missing 8 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
