In Uganda, the refugee camp Bidi Bidi is slowly changing from that of a place of temporary rest to that of residence for around 285,000 refugees fleeing the four year civil war in Sudan. War, looting and fear have forced these refugees into a welcoming Uganda where there is little advancement for social amenities, no money coming in and refugees live off of UN rations, there is improvement and creative ideas yet. While funds for the camp are tight, and some local Ugandans are becoming malcontent with the refugees, opinions are for the most part, sympathetic for their plight; the camp is there to stay and potentially become a new city in Uganda.
