Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute: On Africa's biggest refugee crisis

Uganda is now hosting more than one million refugees who have fled civil war in neighbouring South Sudan, according to the United Nations.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ reporter Catherine Byaruhanga tells Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute about Uganda’s unique system for welcoming refugees.
