Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The violence and hostility experienced by the Rwandese in the 1979 liberation war, 1982 expulsions and the 1981-1986 bush war forced thousands of refugees to seek refuge in Tanzania.  Following Museveni's victory, he called upon the Ugandan diaspora to return home.  Rwandese refugees, who considered themselves Ugandan, and who had left during the insecurities returned to Uganda.  However, under domestic legislation only those Rwandese (Banyarwanda) living in Uganda prior to the drawing of the colonial borders, and immigrant labourers who came in the 1940s and 1950s had rights as citizens and nationals. Although these refugees had come to consider themselves Ugandans, under Ugandan legislation they did not legally have this right.    This paper focuses on two specific examples to highlight the problem.  The first considers the screening of returning Ugandan citizen/Rwandese refugee returnees from Tanzania in 1988. Although these people may have been born in Uganda to parents of Rwandese descent, by virtue of the fact that one set of parents came to Uganda as refugees, and the other as immigrants meant a totally different set of rights.   Refugees were genuinely confused about whether they were a refugee or a national, and some even traced the genealogy of their family to prove their case.   The second example considers the 1988 Ad-hoc Committee on Displacement caused by the 1982 Banyarwanda expulsions.  It had been generally accepted that despite legislation forbidding non-Ugandans to own land, Rwandese refugees did move out of the settlements and bought land especially in Ankole and Buganda areas.  During 1982 these people were forced from their land and into the settlements (where technically they were meant to reside), although shortly afterwards, these refugees were given permission to leave the settlement and return to their former land.  Despite these events, and the gap between what 'officially' and 'unofficially' should have happened, domestic legislation, although not always enforced, could always be used as the definite authority. The 1988 Committee looked at specific land disputes, and in all in cases concerning Rwandese refugees, the committee concluded that whilst the refugees may wrongly have been forced off their land, as a refugee they did not legally have the right to own land, and thus must forfeit any land that they had once held.   The reluctance of successive regimes to give citizenship enabled the curtailment of the rights of the refugees, who were always considered a temporary phenomena (even after thirty years) and the threat of forced repatriation or expulsion hung over their heads as a potential consequence should they create internal problems in Uganda.  This paper concludes that citizenship of refugees was used as a political tool by the Ugandan government to control the Rwandan refugees.
