All of these children are children of RPA rebels, who, along with their parents, have long lived in the border areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda and were taken away by arms surrender in late May to Walungu Refugee settlement point. Drift, displaced lives bring serious child malnutrition and secondary illnesses caused by malnutrition.
