Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Land conflicts in Boroli and Mungula refugee settlements, Adjumani District, are threatening peaceful co-existence between refugees and host communities, leaders have warned.<\/p>\n

During a community dialogue at the weekend with Pakele Sub-county authorities, Mr Ratib Kokole Takini, a refugee from Boroli, accused host communities of stealing their agricultural produce and livestock despite renting the land from the latter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were given goats but they got lost and when we followed up the matter, they were found with the host communities. This is a clear indication that we are not peaceful with the host community,\u201d Mr Kokole said.<\/p>\n

The refugee welfare councillor chairperson for Boroli I refugee settlement, Ms Kevin Dorothy Maiya, said she has received more than 50 cases of land related conflicts this year. The settlement has about 10,000 refugees.<\/p>\n

Ms Maiya appealed to lower local government leaders and partners to act as mediators between refugees and landlords.<\/p>\n

The RWC I chairperson for Boroli II, Mr John Taban, said more than 20 goats belonging to refugees were collected from communities since February.<\/p>\n

Mr Taban, however, said not all the landlords mistreat refugees, adding that some are kind.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/p>\n

Mr Gerald Obini, a peace building officer from Jesuit Refugee Services, called for conflict-sensitive approaches to build peace among the two communities.<\/p>\n

A landlord in Oruangwa Village, Mungula Parish Itirikwa Sub-county only known as Mr Mandela, accused some refugee communities of having bad farming practices such as bush burning, which destroys the environment.<\/p>\n

Mr Wellborn Kenyi, the Pakele Sub-county chairperson, said they organised the community dialogue to mitigate the conflicts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to desist from the culture that leaders are always called to solve problems, we want to come on ground whether there is a problem or not to discuss peace building modalities,\u201d Mr Kenyi stated.<\/p>\n

He advised refugees to always engage local leaders when transacting land related business.<\/p>\n

Mr Robert Andeoye, the settlement commandant, said although refugees are only given 30×30 metres to settle, many have, through local arrangements, gone ahead to share land with the landlords for grazing and farming.<\/p>\n

According to the Land Act of 1998, refugees in Uganda can acquire land through the leasehold tenure system.<\/p>\n
