“We want the government, as a matter of urgency, to remove armed Karamojong from neighbouring districts where they are busy terrorising the population by looting and raping. “What we want is for the Karamojong to recognise that their neighbours want peace,” said Mike Mukura, an MP from neighbouring Soroti district who moved the motion for disarmament. Cattle rustling between the various communities has caused further tension. The situation worsened when the Karamojong acquired weapons and used them as protection against the national government and outside pastoralist groups such as the Turkana and Pokot from Kenya. The policy of the colonial government was to maintain Karamoja’s natural heritage for tourism purposes which never took off due to a breakdown of law and order after Uganda gained independence. Currently, there are a few missionary-run schools, but the last census in 1991 put the literacy rate for females at six percent, and for males at 11 percent. Karamoja, which borders 12 districts, remains largely undeveloped. The Karamoja problem arose because the area has been neglected for many years by post-colonial governments, unlike neighbouring districts which have been developed in terms of infrastructure, hospitals and schools. “They have the option of barter trade where they exchange animals for guns.” “The Karamojong have maintained their armouries by buying guns cheaply from the SPLA, and other sources in Somalia and northwestern Kenya,” Wairagala Wakabi, a journalist with ‘The EastAfrican’ who specialises in the movement of small arms in the region told IRIN. Most of the weapons were acquired in 1979, when Karamojong warriors descended on the nearby Moroto barracks and stole thousand of guns after the army of former leader Idi Amin fled from the advancing Tanzanian army and Ugandan exiles. The number of guns in the hands of the Karamojong is estimated at between 100,000 and 150,000, according to a report in the regional ‘EastAfrican’ weekly. “Previous governments used to hunt them down like antelopes.” He said the law had become necessary due to the increasingly volatile situation in the area. “This is the only government that has allowed the Karamojong to use their guns for purposes of protecting themselves from hostile tribes across the border,” he told IRIN. John Nagenda, Uganda’s senior presidential adviser for the media and public relations, rejects accusations that the government is using the disarmament issue as a political tool to influence a forthcoming referendum on multipartyism. The current government of President Yoweri Museveni allowed the Karamojong to retain their arms in order to protect themselves from external raids by the Turkana and Pokot in neighbouring Kenya. The issue of the Karamojong warriors has been a thorn in the side of all Ugandan governments since independence. Observers warn that the stage is set for a confrontation between the army and the heavily-armed warriors. It also calls for deploying the army at strategic points along Karamoja’s border with neighbouring districts. The law requires the government to disarm the Karamojong and remove them from neighbouring districts within six to 12 months. Tension has been mounting in the district, compounded by parliament’s approval of the law last week.
