KAMPALA-UGANDA/NEWSDAY : Afghan refuguees have started to arrive in Uganda with fifty one out of the anticipated 2000 already in the country.
A statement from the ministry of foreign affairs released on Wednesday morning said that the evacuues arrived by a privately chartered jet today morning.
“The decision to host those in need is informed by Uganda consistent policy of receiving refuguees and persons in distress,” the statement reads.
