1 Mins read

Uganda has over the years maintained her hospitality to all people of color and race from all over the world. This is the same for refugees that flock the country every year for different reasons, and this is why the number keeps increasing.

Since June, the number of refugees entering Uganda from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has tremendously increased.

over 8,000 refugees crossed to Uganda mainly through Sebagaro landing site on Lake Albert into Kyangwali and Kyaka II refugee settlements.

This is because of the continued, growing unrest in North Kivuli and Ituri the Eastern Provinces of DRC Congo where about 70 militia groups have continued terrorizing people with abductions, rape, and gross human rights violation.

This has forced over 350,000 people to flee this violence into neighboring countries like Uganda, majority of them, women and children.
