"Uncertain future for northern Uganda's IDPs while peace remains elusive"
The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre has released an updated profile of displacement in Uganda. They write, "With the peace process plagued by delays and confusion, and with conditions in return areas often worse than in the IDP camps, the future for IDPs in northern Uganda remains uncertain...Since the signing of the Cessation of Hostilities, about half of the more than 1.8 million people who had been internally displaced by the conflict have returned to their homes or have moved to transit sites nearer to their homes. However, many IDPs are reluctant to go home in the absence of a final peace agreement...Lack of access to basic services and security guarantees form a major obstacle to the return process."
