6 Min Read BUSHIKA, Uganda (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - For the people of Bushika sub-county in eastern Uganda, December 3, 2019 was the day the ground gave way. Rain had poured for days, tumbling down the steep hillsides, seeping from the earth, and turning the streams a dirty brown. Robinah Nandutu remembers looking at a crack that had opened in the path she was walking along. Then, suddenly, she was sliding, mud up to her chest, rocks pounding her back, falling with the land itself. “I tried to run, but the speed of it was too fast,” she said, standing near the gash the landslide left in the hill.
