Kenyan refugees still fear home

New Vision Online : "OVER 3,000 Kenyan refugees are still camped in Kapchorwa and Bukwo districts despite the power-sharing deal that was signed by the rival parties two weeks ago.
The refugees, mainly of the Kalenjin tribe, have refused to return to their country, fearing violence.
“The refugees are not bothered about the power-sharing agreement.

“All they want is assurance that they will not be attacked again,” said Patrick Longit Chematek, the Kwosir sub-county chief.

He was at an emergency relief food distribution by Actionaid International-Uganda at Kapreron sub-county headquarters in Kapchorwa on Saturday.

Chematek added that the displaced were acutely in need of more food."
