SUBJECT:  Uganda:  UNHCR Preparing for Congolese Returns to DRC 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary:  On May 29, 2008, RefCoord met with acting UNHCR 
country Representative, Montserrat Vihe, in Kampala.  Vihe said that 
the Government of the DRC had invited the Government of Uganda to 
attend tripartite discussions in Kinshasa in the coming weeks.  The 
GoU, in anticipation of the meetings requested UNHCR funding for the 
travel of Office of the Prime Minister Refugee officer Douglas 
Asiimwe, and Refugee, and one assistant to attend the meetings.  End 
summary. 
 
CONGOLESE MAY BE GOING HOME FROM UGANDA 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
 
2.  (SBU)  According to Vihe, UNHCR in Bunia, DRC reported that 
Congolese, refugees and others, are crossing the border from Uganda 
and the DRC and requesting assistance.  As of May 2008, UNHCR-Uganda 
had not registered any Congolese departures from the Ugandan 
settlements.  However, Vihe said her office would check to verify 
the information from the DRC.  The GoU reported that as many as 100 
Congolese crossed back into the DRC in the past week. 
 
3.  (SBU) Vihe opined that any border crossers could be returning 
home to work and maintaining residence in the settlements to receive 
service.  The Uganda-DRC border is poorly patrolled, and only 
partially demarcated.  Monitoring movements was difficult for both 
UNHCR and the GoU. 
 
4.  (SBU) UNHCR could not dismiss the possibility that armed groups 
from North Kivu were not recruiting young people into their ranks 
within the DRC.  However, refugees in Uganda had not reported 
recruitment attempts. 
 
INTENTION SURVEYS SHOW LITTLE RETURN INTEREST 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
 
5.  (SBU) Vihe said that Congolese refugees, when asked, showed 
little interest in return to DRCongo.  The refugees sited security 
concerns as their chief reason for staying in Uganda.  Vihe said she 
believed that once security returned to the Kivus, refugees would 
return in significant numbers.  According to Vihe's estimate, the 
lack of services at home, and relative comfort of Uganda would not 
influence families to remain in Uganda. 
 
UNHCR-DRC PREPARING FOR RETURNS 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
 
6.  (SBU) UNHCR-DRC was preparing for the tripartite meeting and for 
the returns of Congolese from Uganda.  Uganda accepted the 
invitation to the technical meetings and Senior Refugee Officer 
Douglas Asiimwe planned to travel to Kinshasa on June 12, 2008. 
 
7. (SBU) To facilitate operations in the Kivus, UNHCR assigned a 
senior staff member to the DRC office, The Chief of Office would 
have some decision-making authority while still technically 
reporting to UNHCR-Kinshasa.  Strengthening the Goma office was a 
concession to the difficulties of running the Kivu program from 
Kinshasa. (Note: The Goma office of the UN Observer Mission to Congo 
(MONUC), UNHCR's partner in the protection cluster, would assist 
integration in the event of refugee returns to North Kivu). 
 
8.  (SBU) Vihe explained that logistical and administrative support 
for the Goma and Bukavu UNHCR offices comes from Kampala, rather 
than Kinshasa, because of the difficult communications links within 
DRC.  With more authority in Goma, UNHCR will be better able to 
react to rapid changes in North and South Kivu.  However, Vihe said 
her office had little contact with the Kampala MONUC office. 
 
Comment--UN Delivering Refugees as one 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
 
9.  (SBU) UNHCR should inform MONUC of all aspects of the 
repatriation effort, beginning at the tripartite agreement stage. 
The Uganda repatriation process will require close cooperation 
between UNHCR and MONUC in DRC and in MONUC's branch office in 
Kampala.  The UNHCR Goma, DRC office and its Bunia sub-office will 
be the key receiving office for DRC.  MONUC would assist in the 
resettlement, protection, and integration of the returnees.  MONUC 
political and military offices would be central to conflict 
resolution in the event of difficulties between returnees and 
long-term residents.  End comment.
