UN Humanitarian Affairs Head Urges UN Security Council to Tackle Uganda Crisis
The UN's senior emergency relief official has urged the UN Security Council to tackle the crisis in northern Uganda, where a rebellion against the government has been continuing since the late 1980s.
The head of the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Jan Egeland, said that around 1.4 million people have been displaced as a result of the uprising by the group known as the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).
However, Mr Egeland said there was a historic opportunity to end the atrocities following recent contacts between the rebels and the Ugandan government.
