Refugee influx and Uganda’s national security

Abstract

According to the Centre for International Governance and Innovation, it is documented that the world has about 650million refugees and displaced persons. With a series of conflicts breaking out daily across the world, this number has high chances of increasing. In the meantime, as crises continue to occur, the worst has been witnessed with some states restricting and others blocking the entry of vulnerable people. Uganda is among the few states that have stood to shoulder the burden of refugees, which might be detrimental to national security. This study was about assessing the relationship between the influx of refugees and the national security of Uganda
