Ugandan violence at disastrous levels

[dArKeR]

The Ugandan Parliament has passed a motion calling for the insurgency-hit north to be officially declared a disaster zone and urging the international community to help end the violence, officials said on Thursday.

"Parliament passed a motion yesterday that will be given to the executive advising the declaration of some Ugandan areas affected by war as humanitarian disaster areas," Kagole Kivumbi, spokesperson for the Parliament, said by telephone.

Only the president has the mandate to declare a region a disaster area.

"The aim of the motion is to raise both local and international attention so that these areas access assistance in terms of security and relief," he added.

Parliament also urged the government to dedicate a day for the memory of people killed by rebels, who have for nearly two decades been waging war in the north.
