SV: {UAH} Five residents shot over Amuru land wrangle - National

AKIM, 

How are you keeping an eye as in ".....and we are keeping an eye?

Stop bluffing society. I TOLD YOU THAT YOU CAN NOT!!

This Amuru -Adjumani land conflict is not recent or new. By now, people like you if they had the ability, should have structurally 

lifted it up solidly- NOT JUST AS RHETORICALS IN ELECTION BAIT!

Hon Mao says: "......the Amuru land conflict is between the interests of the people and the interests of the profit seekers........"

Fine and quite correctly so.

But if the trigger / source is so clearly identified ( I presume it has been identified way back?), do we see any structure

in the process to resolve the conflict?

Since you live in Uganda, perhaps you could supply us with some documents or protocols so we can see where and when

the conflict was up on agenda and by whom?

So, where have you been ever since the conflict took momentum? Nothing!!!

This is a serious and flamable issue that should not only belong to election campaign season.

Prevalent leaders have some accounting to show or voted out if they can not show accomplishment on the fragile issue

other than just void show downs.

Five residents shot over Amuru land wrangle - National

Amuru. Five people were yesterday seriously injured in clashes with security forces as they protested the opening of boundaries in Apaa parish, Paboo Sub-county, Amuru District.
The injured include Mr Felix Tabia Opiyo, 26, Mr Jacob Jenaro Okumu, Mr Gabriel Komakech, Ms Grace Aciro and another unidentified male. They have been admitted to St Mary's Hospital, Lacor.
Dr Cyprian Opira, the hospital executive director, said some of the injured had bullet wounds and two had their hands amputated.

Locals speak out
Residents told Daily Monitor that security personnel surrounded Apaa parish, preventing anyone from entering or exiting, making it difficult for medics to remove the injured who were still hiding in the bush.
Mr Opiyo, a resident who sustained injuries on his right hand, said civilians were shot at indiscriminately by the army and police officers.
"At mid-day when people had gathered in Apaa Trading Centre, a group of armed men comprising soldiers and police officers started chasing them away from the area. The chase was facilitated by live bullet shots, teargas," Mr Opiyo said.
Mr Okumu, who was also shot in the right hand, said the soldiers shot him as he tried to take pictures of the security personnel beating people.
Residents are contesting the opening of boundaries of a 40-square kilometre land in Apaa parish, claimed by the Uganda Wildlife Authority, Amuru and Adjumani districts.

HALT AMURU LAND SURVEY, OPPOSITION TELLS GOVERNMENT

The Opposition has demanded that the ongoing survey and demarcation of the border between Amuru and Adjumani districts be stopped.
Under their coalition, The Democratic Alliance (TDA), the Opposition claims government is using heavy-handed methods to evict people from Apaa Sub-county which they said does not bode well for sustainable peace.
"Any attempt at a unilateral process of survey and boundary opening should be halted," acting TDA chairperson Wasswa Biriggwa said in a statement in Kampala yesterday.
"A meeting of government representatives, leaders from Adjumani and Amuru districts should be convened to clarify the issues of contention and provide an initiation platform for dialogue," Mr Biriggwa added.
Democratic Party president Norbert Mao said the Amuru land conflict is between the interests of the people and the interests of the profit seekers.
