Third charter flight returns 255 Ugandans from South Africa to Entebbe amid anti-immigrant unrest

A third Uganda Airlines charter flight landed at Entebbe International Airport carrying 255 Ugandans returning from South Africa, where anti-immigrant protests and xenophobic attacks had escalated. According to the Uganda High Commission in Pretoria, this brought the total returned under the voluntary repatriation programme to 560, completing its first phase. The government said one Ugandan had been reported killed in the violence and more than 1,200 had registered for return.
