The first 34 of a total 159 demobilised child soldiers were flown home on Wednesday from Uganda to Bunia in the Ituri district of the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to be reunited with their families, UNICEF announced on Thursday. The children have been staying in a World Vision-Uganda transit centre in Kiryandongo, 220 km north of the capital Kampala, under the supervision of UNICEF-Uganda since February this year when the government of Uganda handed them over.
