Congolese refugees living in Uganda are now returning home voluntarily after an improvement in the security situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). According to an April 1 situation report by the Makerere University-based Refugee Law Project (RLP), repatriation had been informal with no involvement of the Ugandan authorities. In March, the RLP team visited Karugutu, Rwebisengo and Ntoroko sub-counties in Bundibugyo district, which are epicentres of the refugee influx. RLP reported that the refugees who wanted to go back to their country packed their belonging and left without informing the authorities in the area.
