In Their Own Words: A Congolese refugee in Uganda

Description

Ange Rukenura is among the nearly 560,000 Congolese refugees who call Uganda home. The 24-year-old arrived in the country in October with her six siblings. They fled Goma after armed men attacked their village, killed their mother, and abducted their father. Ange took the children and with support from the village chief, she managed to join other families fleeing to Uganda. UNHCR and its partners have transported them from the border to Mahani Reception Centre in Rwamwanja refugee settlement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information for media: If you would like to use this video to communicate refugee stories or require B-Roll, transcripts, stills or much more information, please visit our media page: https://media.unhcr.org UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, works to protect and assist those fleeing war and persecution.
