Today President @KagutaMuseveni told a meeting of Ministers from East, Central and Southern Africa that refugees often cross artificial borders to be received by their own. He called for socioeconomic inclusion to prevent tensions with hosts & better prepare for the return home. https://t.co/x5tWAPTZTr
