The two ministers met on Tuesday at the United Nations Higher Commissioner (UNHCR) offices in Kampala yesterday, to discuss the with the United Nations agencies on issues surrounding refugee support in Uganda.

Mr Duddridge added that the UK government has provided UNHCR, UNICEF and WFP with a total of 11.6million pounds (about Shs58 billion) in support of the refugee responses in Uganda this year alone.
The crisis that was sparked in April by protest against President Pierre Nkurunzinza’s bid for a third term in office has so far claimed an estimated 240 people and the number is expected to rise if the political crisis is not addressed urgently.
