Northern Uganda, December 3, 2008
For more than 20 years, the Acholi community in Northern Uganda largely depended on relief food. They were displaced into camps following fighting between rebels of the Lords Resistance Army and government soldiers.
As peace is slowly returning in the region, government has suspended food distribution to encourage people to resettle back home. So then how are the child mothers and former child fighters surviving?
Gloria Aciro Laker of the New Vision visited Koro Abili internally displaced people’s camp in Gulu district to find out.
