When we walked trhough the slums and refugee camps, we saw sharply dressed women selling charcoal in the dirt. We saw children going to school in a papyrus shed. We saw sugar cane sold for food money. And we saw dignity and pride in the eyes of the single mothers.
BUT, we also know about the government's efforts to end the refugee crisis by simply sending people home. No support waiting for them back in their destroyed and overgrown villages. So they just start up small IDP camps of their own (Internally displaced Persons) and fight for survival all over again. Here's a link to the story in the Monitor, Uganda's only independent newspaper.
