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. -
Northern Uganda Land Study Analysis of Post Conflict
NORTHERN UGANDA LAND STUDY ANALYSIS OF POST CONFLICT LAND POLICY AND LAND ADMINISTRATION: A SURVEY OF IDP RETURN AND RESETTLEMENT ISSUES AND LESSON: ACHOLI AND LANGO REGIONS By : Team Members: Margaret A. Rugadya (Lead Consultant) Eddie Nsamba-Gayiiya Herbert Kamusiime World Bank UPI: 267367 Consultant Surveyors and Associates for Associates for Development Planners Development Tel. +414-541988, +0772-497145, Kampala Kampala +0712-497145 Email: [email protected] February, 2008 For the World Bank, to input into Northern Uganda Peace, Recovery and Development Plan (PRDP) and the Draft National Land Policy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the second in a series of land studies for northern Uganda, whose core objective is to inform the Plan for Recovery and Development of Northern Uganda (PRDP) and the National Land Policy. 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. -

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. (Signed) Catherine Otiti Charge d’affaires a.i. 00-?1473 I: 240106 ,111 lllllll.ililII 111111 II Annex to the 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 Attached is a synopsis of the humanitarian situation in northern Uganda (see appendix). It gives a historical background of the problem of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and the ensuing humanitarian situation.
