As of late 2025, there were an estimated 142,000 Burundian refugees housed in two Tanzanian camps - Nduta and Nyarugusu, according to the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR).

RENÉE VICTOR, THE TALENTED ACTRESS WHO BROUGHT DISNEY'S ABUELITA TO LIFE IN THE BELOVED ANIMATED FILM "COCO",DIES AT THE AGE OF 86.(PHOTO).


 It's with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Renée Victor, the talented actress who brought Disney's Abuelita to life in the beloved animated film "Coco." Victor died Friday evening at her Sherman Oaks home, surrounded by family, after battling lymphoma. She was 86.


Born in San Antonio and later moving to Los Angeles in the 1960s, Renée began her entertainment career as a singer with prominent Latin big bands, working alongside legends like Xavier Cugat and Perez Prado. Her transition to acting in the mid-1980s led to memorable roles in "Matlock," "The Addams Family," and notably as Lupita in Showtime's "Weeds."


However, it was her role as the fierce, loving grandmother in 2017's "Coco" that cemented her legacy. The film, which respectfully celebrated Mexican culture and Día de Muertos, became a box office sensation and won two Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature. Victor's authentic portrayal of Abuelita resonated with audiences worldwide, making her voice synonymous with unconditional family love.


Her daughters' statement beautifully captures her impact: "Renee was loved by so many & had fans all over the world. Those who knew her will always cherish her memory."
