“The only way to tackle the problems of the insurgency is for the government to address the root causes, including rising poverty, infrastructure shortages and climate vulnerabilities.
“That is why we must return the displaced to their ancestral home in a dignified manner. No one is forced to return to their parental home, we are here to support voluntary return in accordance with the Kampala Convention. People will be supported with livelihoods so that they can support themselves, otherwise our people will continue to live in the IDP camps.”
