UPDF, Kenyan Pokot clash
David Mafabi
BUKWO Hardly three weeks after Kenyan Pokot
warriors engaged the Uganda People's Defence Forces
in an armed clash, the two parties clashed again on
Friday.
Heavy gun fire rocked Bukwo in the morning of Friday,
and according to locals, the Pokot raided 400 head
of cattle while the army says they took 89.
In the earlier clash, the army killed six Pokot
warriors, one soldier died and over 700 head of
cattle impounded by UPDF.
Bukwo LC5 chairman Reuben Chelimo said the heavily
armed warriors took advantage of a border security
meeting involving the district leadership and UPDF
sector commander Festus Lubega in Suam sub-county to
effect the raid.
He said the Pokot escaped with four donkeys and one
goat after the battle.
