Ugandan Batwa issue declaration calling for their rights to
be recognised
Community representatives from 5 districts have submitted the
declaration to the Government demanding land for resettlement.
Since they were evicted from their traditional forests In the
1990s to make way for national parks, they have been marginalised
and landless. They also seek renewed access to the forest for
their cultural practices.
