Local leaders are encouraging residents to embrace forgiveness, tolerance, and mutual respect. They are also working to rebuild trust and foster inter-ethnic harmony. The return of sanity to Moroto Sub-county is a testament to the resilience and determination of its people.

The community, especially in the Nakiloro areas, had recorded a series of attacks by warriors believed to have come from the areas surrounding Mount Moroto. Armed warriors laid ambushes, kidnapped people, and stole livestock from residents. However, last week, the Joint Security Forces deployed along the Rupa-Nakiloro road and conducted mobile patrols to ensure the safety of the community and all road users. Mt Moroto Regional Police spokesperson Michael Longole said community policing and the subsequent arrest of two notorious warriors helped them bring sanity to the affected areas. Longole noted that the two suspects and the others on the run have been terrorizing road users and the communities surrounding Rupa and Nakiloro. But Longole says the road is now safe for users and he also urged traders who had suspended their businesses to resume work. He urged communities to be alert and inform security forces if they find warriors who are still at large. Longole reiterated that security forces were still monitoring the situation and tracking down warriors who fled during the operations. Patricia Angella, a businesswoman at the Nakiloro Trading Centre, said insecurity had frustrated her businesses, forcing them to close at 5 pm for fear of being attacked by armed warriors. She says they can now operate until 7 p.m. Angella appealed to security forces to remain in the area until the situation returned to normal. * URNSanity gradually returns to Moroto Sub-county Moroto, Uganda – Sanity is gradually returning to Moroto Sub-county, Napak District, after a three-day rampage by suspected warriors from the Karimojong tribe. The warriors attacked the sub-county on Monday, killing at least 10 people and injuring several others. They also looted livestock and burned houses. The Ugandan army was deployed to the area on Tuesday and has since managed to restore order. However, the situation remains tense and there are fears that the warriors may return. “We are still living in fear,” said one resident. “We don’t know when they will come back.” The warriors are believed to have been motivated by revenge after a raid by Ugandan soldiers on a Karimojong village last week. The raid resulted in the death of several warriors. The Karimojong are a semi-nomadic pastoralist people who live in the northeastern region of Uganda. They have a long history of conflict with neighboring tribes and with the Ugandan government. The Ugandan government has been trying to disarm the Karimojong for several years, but with limited success. The warriors are well-armed and have a strong sense of grievance against the government. The latest attack is a reminder of the challenges that Uganda faces in maintaining peace and security in the Karamoja region.
