Security is a concern throughout the Karamoja Cluster side of Uganda. On 4 December 2009 a large group of Jie warriors crossed Loyoro sub county towards Mount Morungole and raided a protected kraal.They clashed with the army, losing 50 dead while nine soldiers of the Uganda People's Defense Force (UPDF) were killed.A March 2010 report said that as usual the movement of livestock away from the homesteads to dry season pastures have made them vulnerable to raids. Most of these raids had taken place in pastoral areas of Loyoro, northeast of Kaabong. (en) |
