    Meanwhile, UNHCR in Kampala has said that it registered 165 Sudanese refugees arriving in Uganda from northeastern parts of DRC between the start of March and 7 April, and has word of an additional group of 23 families said to be en route.

    An earlier WFP report had indicated the possibility that up to 10,000 Sudanese refugees might seek to cross into Uganda, and that the agency was making contingency plans on that basis.
