This year's flooding may have helped their case
ENTEBBE - For the last decade, Silus Musasizi has lived on a wetland on the shores of Lake Victoria.
Now, it is the water itself that has driven him from his small house on the edge of Entebbe, a Ugandan town that juts into Africa's largest lake.
The Ugandan government has said people like Musasizi are partly to blame for the floods, and wants them to leave the wetlands for good.
Last year, wetlands covered just 8.4% of Uganda, down from 15.5% in 1994, according to the environment ministry.
Now the rising waters are forcing people out of the wetlands, doing Oloya's work for him.
