Northern Ugandans Say Goodbye To Those Who Died in Camps
Pabbo, now closing, was the largest camp in northern Uganda.
As ten camps for internally displaced people close in northern Uganda, residents of the camps are exhuming the bodies of those who died in the camps, and reburying them in their ancestral homes.
Countless children and elderly people died in the camps, where sanitation and public health conditions were brutal.
In a recent ceremony, the Daily Monitor reported that 187 bodies were exhumed, with local leaders and relatives performing rituals to put their late loved ones at rest.
The largest IDP camp, Pabbo, home to 65,000 people is shutting down. It was located in Kilal County.
