An updated profile by the International Displacement Monitoring Centre shows that between 1.7 and two million people remain internally displaced in northern Uganda. While the number of attacks on civilians has decreased, LRA rebels continue to maintain a presence in northern Uganda and the overall security situation remains fluid and unpredictable. Abuses of civilians continue to be committed by the Ugandan military, and in particular by local defence units. Basic conditions in the majority of camps remain for the most part unchanged. The government recently launched its new mechanism to address the humanitarian situation. It appears, however, that this Plan’s implementation is hampered by a lack of participation by government ministries and a deficiency of resources.
