South Sudanese refugees flee Uganda after UPDF operation –

Last week, People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) carried out a three-day operation near the border area, arresting South Sudanese refugees in Busia, Mugujai, and Keji-Areya areas, after gunshots were heard from South Sudan, following rising tensions between South Sudan’s government and opposition groups. UPDF decided to enter those three villages and started forceful displacement, arresting South Sudanese and taking them to a place called Ikeri,” Those who fled are now sheltering in schools and health centers in Nyarigolo village, Panyume Payam of Morobo County.
