The President of The Republic of Uganda His Excellency Yoweri Museveni has reiterated that Uganda is the richest country in terms of Refugees in Africa. Out of the 1.6 Million refugees in Africa 480,000 have made Uganda home. The President Yoweri Museveni continued to add; ” Uganda is the fourth richest worldwide in terms of the number of refugees housed and this is because they are running from political problems at home”
He was speaking during the opening address of the EAST AFRICA COMMUNITY Nairobi process on the security situation in Eastern-DRC Third Inter-congolese Dialogue at a Nairobi hotel early today afternoon
The President in a hard hitting speech made through a video feed lamented that the groups causing instability in the Eastern DRC region are groups well known and any group that does not respect the peace formula that the peace process will come up with, then the combined efforts of the East Africa Standby force should be brought down on the groups.
He concluded his speech by urging the Secretariat to seeks the views on the inhabitants of Congo whose land has been occupied by the warlords for a long period of time.
The ongoing conflict in the Eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo which erupted in 1996 has claimed approximately 6 million lives since and this has made it arguably the bloodiest conflict in world History. Armed groups from the nation’s DRC, Rwanda, Uganda Burundi and various other armed groups are believed to fuel the conflict in Eastern DRC.
