sep 14, 1996 - Acholi Camps - Brother escapes to one
Description:
"the Ugandan government moved hundreds of thousands of Acoli from the Gulu district into camps, ostensibly for their protection. Since 1996 this policy has expanded to encompass the entire rural Acholi population of four districts, one million people.[10] These camps had some of the highest mortality rates in the world with an estimated 1,000 people dying per week at one point. Malaria and AIDS have been the primary disease causes of deaths.[11] The refugees in the camps have also been subject to raids by both LRA and government forces.[8]"Added to timeline:
