Yes they looted cattle from the entire North, and now they are graze the cattle
in the region ( I mean they sold the cattle looted from the North and bought
more with the money, the long horned) while the true owners watch, or over the
true owners' grave. Certainly Apac is just the beginning.
There is going to come a time when Mu7 will completely be at a lost of what
to do with the outcomes of his revolution. They cannot subdue millions of
people in the region and still convince themselves that the revolution is
working, when the revolution is on life support from the British and American
imperialism!
When will the Mu7's revolution stand on its own feet? The entire Eastern Dr.
Congo is their enemies; Hutus in Rwanda and Burundi; The North and East. Sudan
is completely a precarious situation considering China has stumped its feet in
the country!
I seriously shudder for clear headed thinkers of the NRA/M! What happened in
Apac demonstrate clearly the frustration of ordinary citizens with the NRA/M
arrogance where other citizens save for the Balaalos, must be subdued and even
killed, to replace with Balaalos. As more and more wananchi choose violent
means, popular uprising cannot be far off!

The other part of the story is that when the Movement came to power Balaalo
were given a right to go to Karamoja and steal as many cows as possible, they
drove cows from as deep as Kenya from the Turukanas, so you got an expansion of
numbers of cows that the nation was not planned for, call it a surge in numbers
if you will. That is why you see that Karimojongs are today in Kampala streets
begging for their cows are now with Balaalo's. So I am very slow to debate
their deaths today when they them selves the Balaalos got the cows by killing
Karimojongs and in large numbers. What the Kateregga's did was to neglect the
deaths of Karimojongs and now they're speaking up for these are Balalo's dying.
You have the cows from Karamoja now heaped on one side of the nation of course
they have to run out of the grazing land.
The circus of cows is simply beginning.

Mr. Ahmed,
Nomadism will be hard to control without a planned and organized ranching. In
the State of Texas, there are many many cows, but all these are in fences fed
with hay that is grown. Even the empty lands on which there are no cows are all
fenced.
These balalo were safe, before Ugandans realized that land was important. In
the 70s these cows used to feed freely and wonder all over our land in Luweero.
The only time we would go after them was when they began eating lumonde and
muwogo.
Now, they are no longer allowed even to come close to the empty lands. Ahmed,
the Luweero war did a major damge to our public relations in Uganda, created
more enemity as well as openning eyes wide, mostly for negative reasons. Since
NRM is staying put, they need to consider this normadism very seriously

will be responsible for the mass kill of pastoralists and animals in Northern
Uganda. I remember well how the Bakanye were chased out of Lango in 1979 after
the fall of Idi Amin, they were almost done the same in Busoga, Bukedi and Teso
during the insurgency in the east in mid eighties. We have not forogotten how
the Baganda were chased out of Kibaale after 1964 Referendum. Those ugly
eposodes we should forgive and forget and we start afresh.
These nomadic balaalo can be barred from entering some agricultural areas and
government itself should be tough on nomadism. But barring one ethenic group
from setlling in any part of the country will set a bad precedent. I don't
encourage nomadism and squating and i have a lot of respect for land ownership
and small holdings (bibanja) but we should be careful with our utterances and
actions. The north has its own problems and should not be tainted more. bUT THE
PASTORALISTS SHOULD BE FORCED TO SELL SOME OF THEIR HERDS AND BUY LAND AND
PRACTISE MIXED FARMING.

At a certain point one has to agree that every Mulaalo sitting in Northern
Uganda is not only dead but so is his/her cow. It is only when.

APAC
RESIDENTS of Tarogali parish in the northern district of Apac yesterday
attacked a host of herdsmen there and speared hundreds of their cattle.
Eyewitnesses told Daily Monitor that about 200 cattle were killed and another
200 injured in the Monday morning attack.
"I am seeing several heads of cattle that have been killed by angry
residents. They are about 200. Those injured through spears, hoes and pangas
could be 200," an eyewitness who declined to be named for fear of reprisals
said in an interview.
Police estimates, however, put the number of the dead or injured cattle at
between 100-200 animals.
"We are not certain of the exact number of cattle killed or injured by the
angry residents. I am hearing it's between 100 -200," Police Spokesman Asan
Kasingye said by telephone yesterday.
Mr Kasingye, however, referred this reporter to the northern regional police
commander, Mr Arinatwe Katurebe or his CID counterpart, Mr Vincent Ouma for
details.
When contacted yesterday, Mr Ouma said he was on his way to the scene. "
We
delayed to leave Gulu due to logistical problems," Mr Ouma said.
"The information I am getting is that many cows were killed and several
others injured. I cannot tell the exact number. Our team on the ground is
trying to search for the cattle. I am told some cows have run in disarray," he
said.
By press time, area members of Parliament said about 71 cattle had been
killed.
Heavily armed anti riot and mobile patrol police from Gulu and Lira commanded
by the northern regional CID chief, Vincent Ouma rushed to Apac yesterday
afternoon.
Apac woman MP, Betty Amongi and the area MP, David Ebong (Maruzi County) said
71 cattle had been speared.
"I don't want to blame the residents for their action since the government
deliberately ignored our peoples' pleas for the relocation of the pastoralists.
The people run out of patience this morning and attacked the marauding
pastoralists. They killed 71 cattle," Mr Ebong told Daily Monito r in an
interview.
"The people did this to protect their land and gardens of crops. They could
not allow the pastoralists to continue trespassing on their land and destroying
their crops," he said.
Amongi said, "This is not a new issue. We tried to use all the available
peaceful means for the pastoralist to leave but they ignored. After several
pleas for them to leave, the residents had no option but to go for their
cattle. They killed about 71," Ms Amongi told Daily Monitor.
"The people were provoked by the pastoralists. These headsmen are too
arrogant. They kept on rearing their cattle in peoples gardens," she said.
Adding, "Some of them have guns.
In western Uganda, the Balaalo clashed with the Bagungu in Bullisa. The
indigenous Bagungu want the Balaalo moved from the grazing lands in Bullisa.
