| UN humanitarian head arrives in Uganda | |
| KAMPALA (dpa) - UN Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Jan Egeland, arrived Thursday in Uganda at the start of a nine-day East African mission to assess the humanitarian situation in war-ravaged northern Uganda and Sudan's region of Darfur. During his trip, Egeland is to visit war-displaced people and hold talks with government officials in Uganda, Sudan, Chad and Kenya, the UN Humanitarian Coordination Office spokesman in Kampala, Christopher Illemassene, told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. Egeland is scheduled to meet with the country's representatives of the donor community, the UN, the World Bank, and non-governmental organisations, the UN said. It said that the UN official will travel to the north of the country to
assess the situation of the war-displaced people, travel to Sudan's southern city of Juba from where he will proceed to Darfur. Egeland will continue to Chad and visit a Sudanese refugee camp there and later hold talks with Sudanese government officials. He will then go to Kenya for the last leg of his visit. Egeland, who is also the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, has described the situation of the nearly two million people displaced by the 20-year war in northern Uganda as the world's forgotten crisis. |
