Uganda: new displacement as LRA attacks resurge

The Global IDP Project says Northern and eastern Uganda is seeing a resurgence of attacks against civilians by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), even in areas that had experienced relative calm for over a year, raising fears that the 19-year conflict with the Ugandan government may be far from over. In one recent attack in the Katakwi district of eastern Uganda, the LRA burned huts and looted food stocks, causing nearly 600 residents of a nearby IDP camp to flee in fear of further attacks.
