12-03-22 -- KAMPALA, UGANDA -- Charles Okongo, from Kitgum, stands in the street in a drunken stupor. Alcoholism is prevalent in the Acholi Quarter, as many try to forget their traumatic past. Since the early 1990's, people from the Acholi tribe (and from other northern tribes) migrated to a plot of land in a suburb of Kampala to escape the violence in the north. Now, rather than returning to their ancestral lands, some are calling the Acholi Quarter home. Many residents, unable to find well-paying employment, make a living mining and crushing rocks by hand..
