In Summary

Crisis. About 300 armed attackers claim ownership of the border area.

*LAMWO. *More than 400 people in Lamwo district have fled their homes due
to rising tension resulting from border dispute between Uganda and South
Sudan, according to the army.
About 200 armed South Sudanese soldiers reportedly entered nine kilometres
into Uganda and put a boundary demarcation at River Limu in Lokung
Sub-County last Friday.
The displaced are said to be stranded without basic necessities such as
food, clothing and shelter and are living in fear of being abducted or
killed. Others are now staying with friends and relatives.
The UPDF 5th Division spokesperson, Lt George Musinguzi, has confirmed the
development.
"We have been invaded by South Sudanese and they have entered into Uganda
by 9kms," Lt Musinguzi told Daily Monitor on Monday.
He added: "Women and children are suffering in the camps here at Ngomoromo."
South Sudanese soldiers are claiming the area is theirs and are threatening
to extend it up to 14kms into Lamwo again.
Lt Musinguzi estimated the attackers to be between 200 and 300.
"When our people tried to talk to them, they refused and instead gave us
only three days to evacuate the area," he said.
He said UPDF was doing everything possible to protect the territorial
integrity of Uganda as enshrined in the Constitution.
"We have deployed our troops at the border, we are serious and more forces
are coming in. If they don't retreat by tomorrow (Tuesday), we are going to
attack them," he warned.
