UNICEF in Uganda urged civilian and military authorities responsible for receiving 47 formerly abducted children - repatriated from southern Sudan by the International Organization for Migration, after their abduction by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) - to ensure the children’s rights remain protected. The 47 individuals, reportedly including 12 under the age of 8, were abducted from their families by the LRA during the ongoing armed conflict in northern Uganda.
