Program Guide Uganda's Benet Communities Facing Forced Relocation Uganda's Benet Communities Facing Forced Relocation 2007-01-19The Indigenous Benet communities of Uganda live in the cold forests of the 400 square mile volcanic Mt. Elgon National park, which straddles the Kenya-Uganda border, as do the Benet communities. In 2006, a Ugandan Court ruled that the Benets on its side of the border have the right to remain on Mt. Elgon. The long-sought judgment also obliges the Ugandan government to compensate the Benet for damages suffered during government evictions. Despite their legal victory, the Benets of Uganda, like their kin in Kenya, still face eviction from the home they've inhabited for generations. The 7th Annual World Social Forum, which kicks off tomorrow in Nairobi, will address the issue of Uganda and Kenya’s indigenous communities. FSRN's Joshua Kyalimpa spoke to Benet community members and files this report. Trackback(0)
