Kateregga
Uganda oil was discovered even before the fifties but these are commodities
that are controlled internationally, so all the hype the movement has of Uganda
is going to drill oil is a waste of our time. Like I said do not loose your day
job yet.

Oil was discovered in the fifties and that was why Bunyoro wanted contuies
around Lake Albert back from Buganda. Mutesa started a resettlement scheme of
second warold war veterans at Ndaiga for the same purpose. Obote was almost
signing an unfavourble deal with Shell before he was ousted by the Okellos in
1985. In 1986, Museveni declined to sign the deal and instead sent Ugandans
abroad to study about petroleum. These are the core people in our petroleum
unit headed by Energy PS Kabagambe Kariisa.

Ugandans
Who made the oil discovery when we knew the existence of that oil during
Obote one? And on record AGAIN. No one will drill that oil and no the Movement
will not drill it. So don't loose your day jobs people for this discussion has
taken place already under Obote one, under Iddi Amin and under Binayisa. They
all wanted to drill and the answer was a simply No. This is an international
issue and not as simple as Museveni saying that let us go now and drill. And
Uganda government can be as hyped about this oil as all it wants but there will
not be any one drilling that oil today.
And that statement is as good as a Canadian dollar.

okecho,
Professional journalists would not even touch the angle you brought on
into the discussion re: "What has caused their sporadic movement in the last
one year? Is it coincidental that when oil discoveries are made that is when
they found the need to look for new grazing land?"!
You just nailed it!
And considering that most professional so called journalists are not
independent of the western conglomerates and their communication empires, how
the hell are they going to bring in a more enlightend views to exposed the
serious point you raised above?
Not a chance! Not when the NRA/M is an agent of imperialism!

Land issues in Uganda today need a deeper analysis than what most of us
fall for. Do you really think it is the enmity that Luwero caused that is
responsible for this outrage from the locals in Apac? The complaints from these
people were registered long ago, but what did the central government do to have
the situation under control? Do these people intend to provoke the locals into
a war? How many are they- the herdsmen. What has caused their sporadic movement
in the last one year? Is it coincidental that when oil discoveries are made
that is when they found the need to look for new grazing land? Were these oil
well discovered recently or the colonial government knew about this but was
burdened by "the barbaric demands for independence" and decided to abandon the
project as it withdrew to the backstage where it would control the socio-
economic direction of the Great lakes region from the comfort of London?
We are in immeasurable need of professional journalists to give
in-depth analysis of the prevailing issues and not those that are intimidated
by the fear of losing their jobs.

Mt.Johnson Oryema, i agree with you that there is no longer freeland.
Even the so called grazing land in the Noerth and East will go away. What has
happened to Buliisa District which so called public land was divided into
grazing, cultivating and fishing? Now the cultivating has been bought by
pastoralists who say that the grazing part is not enough to all of them. There
should be a proper planning for both ranches and daory farms. On my part i
encourage mixed farming. Former Ankole-Masaka Ranching Scheme where my home
district falls, should be properly planned. Rge area has proved good for dairy
cattle. Then beef can be in the North and North East including Karamoja, Teso,
Lango and Acholi. Agricultural (Both for crop and animal husbandry) zoning
should not be in words but should be actual.

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

But political leaders 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 kill Balaalo cattle
Samuel O. Egadu
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 people's 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.
