The Displaced: The African country that welcomes refugees - BBC News
Вставка

- Uganda is home to around 1.3m refugees - that's the largest number of refugees in any country in Africa, and the third largest in the world.
Behind these huge numbers are conflicts in neighbouring countries the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan.
More than 90% of Uganda's refugees come for these two countries. But instead of fighting the tide of displacement, Uganda has become renowned for its welcoming refugee policies.
The BBC's Ashley John-Baptiste met some of the refugees trying to make a home for themselves in the north of the country.
In 2018 - more than 35,000 people were forced to flee their homes every day - that's one every two seconds.
This story is part of a BBC News series, called "The Displaced" - a selection of stories exploring the human impact of this movement, and how it is changing our world.

I am glad Uganda is stepping in to take care of their own. Meanwhile Saudi Arabia refused Syrian refugees...
Those are Arabs, you know what Islam is all about
@@kdtushaberoland3088 Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Iran, Sudan, all those countries hosted more refugees than yours. Also you got your religion from your slave masters.
Not a government
Not a community
Not a shelter
But Kinda hearts.
Uganda is number one when it comes to taking care well the refugees.
Thank you Uganda! Seriously, thank you!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
DID YOU HEAR WHAT SHE SAID?AND SEE HOW EVERBODY HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY, IN DEVELOPING THEIR ENVIRONMENT, PEACE AND TRANQUILITY
It gives me hope that there are good people in this world!
Indeed, Uganda is an example...
LOCAL COPING dumb troll
God bless that country
Fraud ble$$.
Religion$ produce real afterlives? Since when? Oh, you meant within the Hollywood fictional realm.
Cognitive dissonant religious narcissism gonna keep catching your spoken tongues?
You must try to understand that you are exhibiting signs of #StockholmSyndrome .
I'm so proud of my country Uganda 🇺🇬❤️
Long Live my country Uganda
My beautiful people!!!
Uganda be kidding me, it's good to know an African country is showing
hospitality to it's own
'In 2018 - more than 35,000 people were forced to flee their homes every day - that's one every two seconds.'. Is this referring to the natives of London and Birmingham?
Do you pretend that god saved the queen? Or do you know already that religion$ are scams?

Good, to see the uganda also helping refugees! :D
I lived there
Africa unite!!!! Afri Africa unite🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾
What's the south Sudan government doing to address this issue.
God bless Uganda and refugees from Sudan and the DRC 💜💙 Uganda and the DRC are two of the poorest countries in the world due to corrupt and greedy government. I am praying for all of these countries and the people who are living in severe poverty and violence that have to flee their countries. Please pray for the DRC, Sudan, and Uganda 💙✨
They need more diversity
Send in white refugees in Africa..We need more white people in Africa since diversity is good, bring back Rhodesia!!!
Lol ikr 😂
Cousin Jeff whites don’t have enough melanin and they for sure can’t agriculture the fertile earth there that blaecks didnt use right
So it should, the UK has such a small landmass yet we have almost 1/5 the population of the USA, let that sink in.
Let it sink in that religion$ are scams, including your$.
Fraud saved the queen. How about that?
True Tech why are you so edgy and irrelevant
i don't know how population numbers went to religion but m'kay
They have beautiful skin.
Love to Sudanese people from Georgia, USA 🇺🇸
Jospeh Jackson better than those milk drinking mutants
This narrative is very myopic, case in point Ghana which has literally created a permanent settlement for those displaced during the Liberia civil war.
How the fuck will I know that you ignorant idiot, I am Ghanaian. You American buffoon.
I want to visit this place.
Yeah. It’s wonderful there. Like paradise.
You can. Go online and sign up for volunteer work with a missionary. You can also go to the UN's website to apply.
God please send to us meteor
We in the Africa fed up injustice
Really sad Sudan broke in two. Strength in unity.
No....Diversity is our Strength!
Cousin Jeff only for whites though
What a great 👍🏽 motivation
bbc you reached there before any refugee could
Well done Uganda. Saves the uk getting em.
Hey. What must be done for us, must be done by us. 😐
@@louise-yo7kz let someone else do their bit for a change
Lee Lewis samson option would be good too for white countries
And go onto Doctors Without Borders to donate and/or join a missionary to participate in volunteer work in Uganda and other countries who live in severe poverty 💙
Win win, economic development combined with helping refugees 👁🕳👁👍. Though deforestation must be dealt with ✔️.
Can we also send ours? Greetings from Germany! 🇩🇪

Are you hiding like a snotzi in a basement of the parents place when your not clicking your heels together bouncing down the sidewalk to get to the church on time on $unday? Happens, even though religion$ default to being the longest running enabled scams courtesy of the fabian society and such. You are going to feel very stupid once you realize you've been fleeced by scams that hide in plain sight, might take you awhile though right?
They can have some of ours if they like.
Why are you even watching this Jason?
The ugandans were kicking out Indians in the 70s

@@michaelhayes4231 UK took them in or they would've died.
Well, this is not new in Uganda. We have always had refugees as long as I can remember. The refugee numbers have only multiplied after independence in the neighbouring countries. You may have heard of the convoy of cars with thousands of Belgians fleeing from the Congo (now DRC) in 1960 to the Indian Ocean port of Mombasa, Kenya traversing Uganda freely and without incident. We have had former refugees who have returned home to become leaders, having benefitted from our hospitality. You may be familiar with some of them today. Therefore, welcoming refugees from across our border is not only a humanitarian gesture, but it is also a wise decision. You never know what any of these people will become in the future, having been successfully repatriated back to their homeland.
I Good for them do they need financial or other help
8:54 third option?
Please do because we don't want them
Yaaay!! Well done, you really demonstrated how smart you are to all of us with that comment!!!
That would require the empathy gene, and you were raised by traditionalists with the usual sociopathic sandbox issues coupled with probable religious narcissistic expectations of Disneyland in the sky at the end of life's road that isn't actually there. You've been fleeced by the wolves in sheeps bronze aged clothing, how does it feel realizing that now?
True Tech you must really hate yourself for not believing in god, seems to be all you comment about.
You dont want them but your race once fucked them up really bad, am not saying you are indebted to want them but that act like your country didnt benefit at any point from there suffering
South Sudan government get your shit together BECAUSE FOR YEARS SINCE YOUR COUNTRY FORMATION YOUR PEOPLE WANT YOU TO PERFORM.
You can have all those from Libya.
Key to national development of any country is not foreign aid or foreign investment. It is the conditioning of human resources of a country through mother tongue based education in indigenous schooling as opposed to the education designed to scavenge on the left overs of Anglo-American west in the language of colonial masters. Human resource of the third world is thoroughly conditioned to remain psychologically enslaved to the arrogance and dominance of collective west. Under the pretext of "Education" language of colonial masters are imposed to sabotage creativity of human resource. Such "education" covertly leads the population to imitate and remain subservient to everything Anglo-American and look down upon everything indigenous. This subversive order is dutifully maintained by "Imported Government" installed by west. Third world population must rise above this pernicious influence of west that wears a mask of democracy and freedom. Else people of third world will continue to be treated as garbage by the west or at best used as scavenger of cheap labor in West Europe and USA.
Hey Donald Trump!!!! you see how it is done???!!
Tseleng Botlhole your name says it all. You need to go there yourself and stay

BBC's weird obsession with Uganda strikes again.
