COMPENDIUM OF CONFLICTS IN <strong>UGANDA</strong><br />

(1994 – present)<br />

The 1994 Rwandan genocide has directly affected western Uganda, as many displaced<br />

Rwandans crossed the Uganda-Rwanda border seeking refuge. In the years that followed,<br />

many of these refugees became permanent residents of the area, and remain settled in<br />

the region today. A number of land conflicts involve refugees from Rwanda and the DR<br />

Congo, for example in Kamwenge and Isingiro Districts. 453<br />
