Local authorities in Oyam District have threatened to sue Ugandan government for refusing to remove UPDF soldiers who were deployed in Adyeda farm in Loro sub county during the 20 years insurgency by the Lords Resistance Army.
In a meeting was held on June 26 at Adyeda farm in Loro Sub County, Oyam district local authorities and the surrounding residents resolve that government must, with a immediate effect, remove soldiers from this farm because their service is no longer needed.
“We have written to the office the 5th division officer requesting him to remove soldiers from our area since insecurity is no longer a threat at the moment” said the area local council three of Loro sub county AOB Jumma.
Jumma said the soldiers were deployed to temporary settle in the area for security purpose in 2002.
Question, are the Jumma’s aware that the same land they are chasing away the army from has already changed hands? Can someone close to Jumma check with him whether he is ” evicting” the army on behalf of the original members of Adyeda Group Farm, or the new owner as of early this year. Jumma Might chase the lion’s cubs away from the carcass just to be chased away himself by the lioness that was only lying in wait for her cubs to get their fill!!! Somenoe please check this out and let us know.
