        It's true! @UNHCR says Uganda is now home to the largest number of refugees in Africa. Over one million South Sudanese have fled there.

        The question is can Poor Uganda handle thousands of refugees? Not to mention millions

        It all comes down to selflessness and compassion. Thanks to the people of #Uganda. God bless your country.

        Sounds like Ugandan govt is turning the refugees crisis into money business, all the funds donated will be corrupted by govt officials
