Refugees into Uganda alarms UNHCR Chief
Friday, 18 May 2012 03:26 Lagu Francis Regional >>> . The UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres has expressed alarm at new inflows of refugees from the Democratic of Congo (DRC) fleeing into Rwanda and Uganda. The refugees are fleeing fighting between militants in the eastern DRC. The violence has affected the areas of South and North Kivu of DRC for several years. The situation has worsened in recent months amid resurgence of fighting between government forces and soldiers loyal to former rebel commander Bosco Ntaganda. Guterres said in a statement released in Geneva on Wednesday that "the displacement level in eastern DRC is already disastrous." He added that the conflict there, coupled with very limited access for humanitarian workers, means that many thousands of people are without help and protection. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
