Refugees from DR Congo are entering Uganda through Bunagana border in Kisoro district
and are settling at Kibati, Nakivale in Mbarara district.
Mbarara resident district commissioner Clement Kandole recently told a press
conference at his Kamukuzi office that refugees who were repatriated from Uganda to
Rwanda early this year were also coming back under disguised names.
He said some displaced Tutsi from Rwanda were also coming to Uganda from DR Congo.
Mbarara refugee desk officer Titus Jogo said Kibati is home to 12,000 Rwandans, 20
Ethiopians, 100 Somalis, 600 Burundians, 500 Congolese, 30 Sudanese and one Eritrean
seeking asylum.
