Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>At least nine suspected cattle rustlers have been killed during direct fire exchanges with the army and police in Karamoja region.<\/p>\n

“We have registered the killing of nine cattle rustlers in the period of one week,” Karamoja regional police spokesperson Micheal Longole confirmed.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Daily Monitor on Sunday, Mr Longole said the rustlers were killed in direct joint operations by the Uganda People\u2019s Defense Forces (UPDF) and police.<\/p>\n

Mr Longole noted that the region had not registered any killing of unarmed civilians in the last one week.<\/p>\n

Security operatives in the area have also arrested another 24 cattle rustlers in the previous week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are charged for being in possession of illegal firearms,\u2019\u2019 police said.<\/p>\n

The arrests raise the number of arrested warriors to 534 with 350 of these convicted and sentenced by the Division Court-martial since the launch of the third phase of disarmament in the region in July 2021.<\/p>\n

The largely voluntary disarmament exercise has yielded 144 guns and 1,101 rounds of ammunition from the rustlers.<\/p>\n

For the last two years Karamoja Region has battled deadly cattle rustlers that terrorize communities- disrupting relative peace enhanced by a successful disarmament from 2001 to 2008.<\/p>\n

Nabilatuk Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Mr Milton Odongo \u201cappealed to the public not to conceal wrong criminals in their localities.\u201d<\/p>\n

“I call upon the general public to work hand in hand with the security in identifying the few criminals trying to destabilize the peace in the region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
