Kyaka II refugee settlement was established in 2003 to receive the remaining population of Kyaka following the mass repatriation of Rwandan refugees the same year. After this movement, Kyaka I was closed. Around mid-December 2017, renewed violence in DRC -
Democratic Republic of Congo led to a new refugee influx into Uganda, with an estimated 17,000 new refugee arrivals in Kyaka II. There are more than 113,000 refugees already living in the settlement. Kyaka II is managed by the
UNHCR and the Ugandan Office of the Prime Minister's Department of Refugees (OPM). Kiyaka II also receives a lot of refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo, such as the group of people called Ba Gegere Bahema, arrived in 2002-2008. There is another flux of refugees from the region of Bunia. == Geography ==
