Uganda calls in troops as violence flares between refugees and locals

Tensions between locals and South Sudanese refugees have left at least 10 dead as authorities act to prevent escalation

Uganda has sent security troops to its north-west region where tensions are on the rise following deadly attacks on refugees by local people.

More than 10 South Sudanese refugees were killed, including a teenage girl and a 25-year-old woman and her baby, and 19 others were seriously wounded in clashes at a water point in Madi-Okollo district last week.
