  • Political Environment Surrounding the Land Conflict in Amuru District Acholi Sub-Region
    POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT SURROUNDING THE LAND CONFLICT IN AMURU DISTRICT ACHOLI SUB-REGION Muganzi Edson Rusetuka Journal of Public Policy and Administration ISSN 2520-5315 (Online) Vol 4, Issue 2, No.1, pp 1 - 13, 2019 www.iprjb.org POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT SURROUNDING THE LAND CONFLICT IN AMURU DISTRICT ACHOLI SUB-REGION 1*Muganzi Edson Rusetuka Post Graduate Student: University for Peace *Corresponding Author’s Email: [email protected] Abstract Purpose: To examine the political environment surrounding the land conflict in Amuru district Acholi sub-region. Methodology: The study employed a descriptive research design involving both qualitative and quantitative studies where 5 focus group discussions with 40 women and 40 men from Pabbo, Amuru and Lamogi sub counties of Amuru district and key interviews with 4 participants from Area Land Committee members and other leaders in the above sub counties. Findings: The findings indicate that over 90% of rural land is understood by the people who live there as under communal control/ownership. These communal land owners are variously understood as clans, sub-clans or extended families. Ethnic based land tensions fostered insecurity and instability in the Amuru as people could not walk around freely, access their gardens, were displaced and this in turn affected their ability to make a living through accessing the land. I also found that many women had relational access to land through their marriage and relationship with male kin and this seemed to give them fragile land rights. Men on the other hand had firm control over land and made final decisions relating to sales and land use.

  • LAND CONFLICT MONITORING and MAPPING TOOL for the Acholi Sub-Region
    LAND CONFLICT MONITORING and MAPPING TOOL for the Acholi Sub-region Final Report - March 2013 Research conducted under the United Nations Peacebuilding Programme in Uganda by Human Rights Focus EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In a context of land disputes as a potential major conflict driver, the UN Peacebuilding Programme (PBP) commissioned Human Rights Focus (HURIFO) to develop a tool to monitor and map land disputes throughout Acholi. The overall purpose of this project is to obtain and analyse data that enhance understanding of land disputes, and through this to inform policy, advocacy, and other relevant interventions on land rights, security, and access in the sub-region. Two rounds of quantitative data collection have been undertaken comprehensively across the sub-region, in February/March and September/October 2012, along with further qualitative work and analysis of relevant literature. In order to maximise its contribution to urgently needed understanding of land disputes in Acholi, the project has sought to map and collect data not simply on the numbers and types of land disputes, but also on the substrata: the nature of the landholdings on which disputes are taking place; how land is used and controlled, and by whom. KEY FINDINGS • Over 90% of rural land is understood by the people who live there as under communal control/ownership. These communal land owners are variously understood as clans, sub-clans or extended families. • The overall number of discrete rural land disputes is declining significantly. Findings suggest that disputes are being resolved at a rate of about 50% over a six-month period. First-round research indicated that total land disputes between September/ October 2011 and February/March 2012 numbered about 4,300; second-round data identified just over 2,100 total disputes over the period between April and August/ September 2012.

It builds on the work of the first phase conducted in Teso region to present a more quantitative analysis of trends on disputes and claims on land before displacement, during displacement and emerging trends or occurrences on return for Acholi and Lango sub-regions. The key findings in the Teso study are that there is a high level of distrust towards the Central Government’s intentions toward land; customary tenure has evolved and adapted to changing circumstances but remains to be seen as a legitimate form of tenure; there was not a high prevalence of land disputes; the statutory and customary institutional framework for land administration and justice has been severely weakened; and vulnerable groups such as women and children have been marginalized during the return process. However, the Teso region has been one of the most secure regions during the conflict and has experienced very short periods of displacement and as such does not provide a good marker for the situation in the rest of northern Uganda.

When will you learn to see When will you learn to take sidesl During the summer of 1997, I spent a short time in Uganda as a consultant for Human Rights Watch, interviewing children who had been abducted by a rebel group called the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and who had expe­ rienced almost unimaginable horror.2 Adjectives cannot convey the reality best associated with images of the Cambodian genocide, the Jewish Holocaust, and recent events in Bosnia/Herzegovina. Like the Khmer Rouge, the Nazis, and Radovan Karadzic's Bosnian Serb militia, the LRA employs a calculated brutality against northern Ugandan civilians, forcing them tci participate in atrocities against fellow citizens.

  • Northern Uganda
    United Nations s/2006/29 Security Council Distr.: General 19 January 2006 Original: English Letter dated 16 January 2006 from the Charge d’affaires a.i. of the Permanent Mission of Uganda to the United Nations addressed to the President of the Security Council Reference is made to the letter dated 5 January 2006 from the Permanent Representative of Canada to the United Nations addressed to you (S/2006/13). On instructions from my Government, I have the honour to forward to you herewith a letter from the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Uganda transmitting an official position paper of the Government of Uganda on the humanitarian situation in northern Uganda (see annex). The Government of Uganda is giving a factual account of what is happening in northern Uganda and what the Government of Uganda is doing to address the situation on the ground. Any call for the situation in northern Uganda to be put on the agenda of the Security Council is therefore unjustified. I would be grateful if the present letter and its annex were circulated as a document of the Security Council.

  • Regional Development for Amuru and Nwoya Districts
    PART 1: RURAL ROAD MASTER PLANNIN G IN AMURU AND NWOYA DISTRICTS SECTION 2: REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR AMURU AND NWOYA DISTRICTS Project for Rural Road Network Planning in Northern Uganda Final Report Vol.2: Main Report 3. PRESENT SITUATION OF AMURU AND NWOYA DISTRICTS 3.1 Natural Conditions (1) Location Amuru and Nwoya Districts are located in northern Uganda. These districts are bordered by Sudan in the north and eight Ugandan Districts on the other sides (Gulu, Lamwo, Adjumani, Arua, Nebbi, Bulisa, Masindi and Oyam). (2) Land Area The total land area of Amuru and Nwoya Districts is about 9,022 sq. km which is 3.7 % of that of Uganda. It is relatively difficult for the local government to administer this vast area of the district. (3) Rivers The Albert Nile flows along the western border of these districts and the Victoria Nile flows along their southern borders as shown in Figure 3.1.2. Within Amuru and Nwoya Districts, there are six major rivers, namely the Unyama River, the Ayugi River, the Omee River, the Aswa River, Tangi River and the Ayago River. These rivers are major obstacles to movement of people and goods, especially during the rainy season. (4) Altitude The altitude ranges between 600 and 1,200 m above sea level. The altitude of the south- western area that is a part of Western Rift Valley is relatively low and ranges between 600 and 800 m above sea level. Many wild animals live near the Albert Nile in the western part of Amuru and Nwoya Districts and near the Victoria Nile in the southern part of Nwoya District because of a favourable climate.

  • Social Science in Humanitarian Action
    Social Science in Humanitarian Action www.socialscienceinaction.org Cross-border dynamics and healthcare in West Nile, Uganda Since the start of the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in August 2018, one single episode of Ebola has been reported within Uganda. A family travelled from Uganda to Mabalako Health Zone in North Kivu, DRC, to attend the funeral of their grandfather on 1 June 2019 (who was confirmed as having Ebola, on 2 June). They crossed back from DRC into Kasese District on 10 June, through the Bwera border post and sought medical care at Kagando hospital. The five-year-old grandson was symptomatic and, suspected of having Ebola, was transferred to Bwera Ebola Treatment Unit (ETU). The Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) confirmed that he had Ebola on 11 June, along with two other family members, his 50-year-old grandmother and three- year-old brother who were both also admitted to Bwera ETU. All three died. As of 26 June, 108 exposed contacts had been identified and were monitored daily. With no new cases or deaths reported, Uganda successfully completed its first 21-day follow-up period on 3 July 2019.1 On 30 June 2019, a case (mother of five children infected with Ebola, two of whom had already died) was confirmed in Ariwara Health Zone, Ituri Province, having travelled overland from Beni (460km south of Ariwara). This was the first confirmed case in this health zone. At the time of writing (5 July 2019), 177 family contacts had been listed, and 40 had already been vaccinated.

  • “Between Two Fires”
    “BETWEEN TWO FIRES” THE PLIGHT OF IDPs IN NORTHERN UGANDA: The human rights situation in the “protected camps” in Gulu District, Northern Uganda © Human Rights Focus 2002 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Human Rights Focus (HURIFO) with much gratitude wishes to acknowledge the full co- operation received from all the stakeholders which made it’s work easy when monitoring human rights situation in the Internally Displaced Persons camps in Gulu district. The project, which took about a year to reach a report dissemination level, was quite involving. It involved information gathering through oral interview with the victims and/or their relatives including eyewitnesses; sieving of the gathered information and packaging. Community leaders like the local councils at various levels as well as camp leaders rendered quite an invaluable assistance, which needs to be recognised and accordingly appreciated. Equally worthy of appreciation is the financial support to kick start the project received from Human Rights Watch (HRW), without which the project could have started as late as November 1 2000, when the major funder Ford Foundation came in. Last but not least the funding support from the Ford Foundation was an impetus to the two year project, which it’s first report (product) we are quite pleased to come out with now. Where as it is not possible to thank all those individuals and organisations that assisted Human Rights Focus in one way or the other in pushing this project forward, special gratitude recognition and appreciation, however, must be made of a person like Julianne Kippenberg of Human Rights Watch without whose technical support we couldn’t have come this far, and organisations such as Human Rights Watch and indeed our funder The Ford Foundation.
