OKOT ALFRED OCHEN 4 ABSTRACT When symbolically or emotionally important land or property is at issue, chances of conflict will increase significantly. Rebuilding institutional structures such as justice system is a difficult task, particularly in societies torn apart by internal war such as Northern Uganda which has been at war for over twenty two years. This research study explores the reality of indigenous displaced returnees from the Amuru District in post armed conflict in Uganda. This research project compares the informal dispute resolution and the legal or formal dispute resolution system in land claim conflict from the experience of the displaced returnees. A number of recommendations for managing this type of conflict are made including the need to establish hybrid alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in addressing natural resource based issues such as land. Also through conducting public education about the significance of embracing alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in addressing incompatible land issues among population in Amuru district Northern Uganda. The most prominent element in this study is that both the Afro centric and Eurocentric justice systems are still being applied in resolving the incompatible land issues among the internally displaced returnees. The Afro centric justice system was more informal; it always endeavored to strike a middle ground while addressing land concerns and issues among the internally displaced people, while the legal justice system has always attempted to address land issues by ensuring that rightful owners prevails in the court system. Hence, this project provided the researcher with an opportunity to compare the experiences of the internally displaced people in seeking land justice in their communities. It also provided us with rich experiences that enabled us to design a sustainable land dispute alternative resolution mechanism in the post-war Northern Uganda.

  • 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.

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.

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.

PRESENT SITUATION OF ROAD TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT IN AMURU AND NWOYA DISTRICTS 10.1 Road Traffic Condition in Acholi Sub-region 10.1.1 Traffic Survey (1) Outline of the Survey A Traffic Survey was conducted to grasp the baseline traffic information, e.g., traffic volume and OD (origin and destination) along the main trunk road and district roads, in order to understand the current traffic flow and carry out the demand forecast analysis. (2) Survey Method and Survey Location The Traffic Survey was conducted, covering Acholi Sub-region, at 15 locations mainly located along the national roads at the provincial boundaries and cross border points and at 50 locations mainly located along the national and district roads. At the 15 locations, both 12-hour traffic count and OD interview surveys were carried out. At the 50 locations, only 6-hour traffic count surveys were carried out. The Traffic Survey is summarized in Table 10.1.1.
