    The Pageya Clan Chief Rwot Yusuf Adek has said Government is inciting tribal clashes between Acholi and the Madi community by forcefully demarcating Amuru/Adjumani border.

    He noted the two communities have had a peaceful coexistence for a very long period of time since 1924 without any conflict.

    Rwot Adek who was accompanies by other leaders and was addressing locals in Apaa on Sunday said that Government put the markstones without the presence of the technical people from the two districts which he says was illegal

    He said there is need for a dialogue meeting with leaders from the Madi community so that the two continue their peaceful coexistence.

    “There are two types of war that are very difficult to stop, tribal wars and religious wars are not easy to quell, and I hope President Yoweri Museveni understands the consequence of this mark stone that has caused panic and blood shade in Apaa,” Chief Adek said.

    Kilak County Member of Parliament, Mr Gilbert Olanya who was last Friday released on court bail told the locals of Apaa to leave the mark- stones planted by Government saying they will seek legal measures to have the mark stones removed.

    “We shall see how to address the problem but for now stay calm on your land and do not waste time trying to remove the mark stones or the sign post of Adjumani planted along the mark stone,” Olanya said.

    Mr Ronald Mugume, the deputy opposition chief whip in Parliament told the locals that they will present the matter on the floor of parliament and asked them not to politicize the matter.

    Dr Olara Otunu of the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) said that President Museveni is setting a trap of divide and rule which the Acholi and Madi people should not fall into.

    “Museveni has unleashed terror in Apaa by deploying 1500 troops on unarmed civilians. There is no land dispute. This is just a manufactured problem of divide and rule which Acholi and Madi people should be quick to realize,” Otunu said.

      We cannot entrust the NRM Government,especially with its hidden interest on grabbing Acholi resources.
      The local people in Apaa land desire to improve their community development by keeping it secure through Agro-Agriculture and livestock keeping.
      The corruption is not a surprise,it is a challenge for every one.That is why the NRM Ruling government is after Apaa Land for Self Personal Interest by some Top leaders.
      The PAINFUL specific challenges that we Pabbo People cannot recover from it for EVER is the lost of 10 Apaa residents on the 7thSeptember,2015 whom we cannot find whereabouts their bodies have been berried.As the Aswa Regional Spokesperson Mr Okema is denying the facts.
      We request the Acholi people to have OPEN MIND to SENSITIZE themselves to effectively CLARIFY and correspond and communicate,recognize the concept why their land is on the forefront curiosity for GRABBING.
      General Appeal to the Readers of Acholi Times is that,The People of Apaa Land need Care and our engagement should be Humanitarian as a first point of SUPPORT.
