Hi Majid Alemi, Thank you for sharing this news on the border conflict in Westnile with us. I am not sure if the current government of Uganda will take interest in solving this potentially dangerous border conflict. This conflict has been going on for quite a while but i have never heard any concrete action from government. Don't even be surprised to learn that some individuals in positions of responsibilitry would wish the whole of westnile to secede from Uganda so that they can have peace. Westnile is a thorn in some people's flesh. Didn't you hear the rumour that westnile had been sold to SPLA/SPLM. You mean you haven't known that refugees in Arua have more rights than the locakl people? My brother, there is a lot happening. Unless some oil is discovered there who will be interested such a far away land from the seat of power? Instead of waiting for the central government to solve this problem which they may want to do after they have long left power, let the the leaders in westnile organise themselves and lead the initiative. They are the one who have some thing to lose not Kampala. Sam Andema

Haji Sebbi Longa, an elder from Moyo, recently said the Southern Sudan government was claiming the border area of Bibia and had established a market at Elegu. Speaking at the consultative meeting on the formulation of the national land policy at Grand Imperial Hotel in Kampala, Longa said Sudan had claimed part of land in Bomure in Moyo. He said the district had been stopped from constructing a road from Lefori to the border. “If the governments of Uganda and Sundan do not convene a meeting to settle the matter amicably, there will be insecurity in the border areas,” Longa warned. Tia Silas Aloonyu, an elder from Koboko, said there were conflicts on the Sudan border at Yumbe, Tereho and Maracha, which could turn bloody if not addressed immediately. Aloonyu said before the conflicts, the Sudanese and Koboko residents were living in harmony. “We would like the Government to sensitise our people and discourage them from selling land to foreigners. Another Koboko elder, Lucy Akulia Afulo, supported Aloonyu, saying the disagreements could lead to a civil war. Responding to the fears, the acting local government permanent secretary, Tom Matte, said the Government would soon draw permanent boundaries for Maracha and Terego. “We have exhausted all administrative measures to settle the matter, but those people are very stubborn. We have, therefore, decided to draw permanent boundaries,” Matte explained. Re: comments about An Introduction to law.
