These people got a cattle number surge for they collected cows from all over
the place in Uganda and up to Kenya. Many of these cows belonged to Turkanas.

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

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.
