refugees have crossed into Uganda in recent days, following fighting
between Ugandan rebel group Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) and the
Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) national army (FARDC). Their arrival
has left the Ugandan government and humanitarian agencies struggling to
meet the refugees' needs amid funding challenges.

community protection committee (CPC) in Aru, a dusty South Sudanese town
hugging the road between Juba and the Ugandan border. He volunteered for
the position three years ago and is responsible for the more than 200
returnees in his area, helping them reintegrate into the community and
ensuring that they have access to justice. It has not been an easy job.

most of them children, have returned home, fleeing insecurity in parts of
neighbouring Central Africa Republic (CAR), Darfur, Libya and Nigeria. The
returnees, most of whom are seeking shelter in their country's remote
border regions, are in need of emergency assistance in the form of
protection and basic services, according to a senior humanitarian official.

[image: lead photo]DAKAR, 18 July 2013 (IRIN) - US President Barack Obama's
recent call for equality for gays during his Africa tour drew assurances by
his Senegalese counterpart that the country was not homophobic. Yet
dismantling anti-gay laws and attitudes carries huge political and
religious risks few leaders in the continent are willing to take, rights
groups say.
