Ugandan parliament demands travel advisory over South Sudan killings
The Ugandan Parliament on Wednesday asked the government to consider issuing a travel advisory to Ugandans intending to travel to South Sudan following the killing of nine Ugandan drivers, Uganda’s Daily Monitor newspaper reported yesterday.
