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.
This would guarantee the safety of Ugandans considering travel to South Sudan so that they can make informed decisions about their journeys, according to lawmakers.
“See whether it is necessary to issue a travel advisory to Ugandans because things [the shootings] have taken place within four days so that Ugandans know whether to travel to these places,” the Speaker of Parliament, Ms. Rebecca Kadaga, said.
