Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Security agencies in Adjumani District has disputed reports indicating that fresh tribal clashes have erupted between the Madi and the Acholi people residing in the contested Apaa area.<\/p>\n

Reports of the fresh attacks started circulating on social media on Monday with viral pictures of injured men whose hands had been cut, while others had arrows stuck in their necks.<\/p>\n

Madi leaders reject Museveni directives on Apaa land conflict<\/p>\n

Evicted Apaa residents return to disputed land<\/p>\n

Leaders divided over MPs\u2019 proposals on Apaa land<\/p>\n

5,000 Apaa voters appeal to EC over polling stations<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that more than 50 huts were burnt and six people were injured in the clashes reportedly carried out by members of the Madi tribe.<\/p>\n

However, security sources privy to the information denied the claims, stating that the Apaa area was calm and peaceful and that Acholi and the Madi communities in the area were coexisting peacefully.<\/p>\n

Although they confirmed the violent incident, they said the attack occurred inside Zoka Central Forest Reserve, adding that the victims, who were admitted to Gulu Regional and Lacor Hospitals in Gulu City, were illegal loggers.<\/p>\n

Brig Bonny Bamwiseki, the UPDF 4th Division commander, declined to speak to Daily Monitor yesterday over the incident but a military source, who was in Apaa on Tuesday to assess the alleged attacks but asked for anonymity, said the victims were from Masaka, Luweero, and Rwanda.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pictures you are seeing are genuine and the army together with police from Adjumani drove them to Gulu for treatment, but they were attacked from deep inside Zoka Forest, a protected area but not in the communities,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was destroyed in the fire were not huts or established homes but makeshift structures being used by illegal loggers. In some of these structures, there were heaps of timbers, and chainsaw machines, while others were burning charcoal,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n

The source said they have established that the incident occurred on Saturday last week inside the forest when participants in a nature walk organised by Adjumani leaders and conservationists around Zoka Forest to mark the World Environment Day turned violent against the illegal loggers and settlers.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice are investigating the mobilisers of the walk because of the illegalities involved during the event because they did not inform security and no deployment was made during the activity to ensure safety,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n

Those summoned by police at Adjumani Central Police Station include organisations such as the Lutheran World Federation, Friends of Zoka, and district officials who took part in the walk.<\/p>\n

An officer at Lutheran World Federation who requested anonymity, confirmed they had received a summon from police to explain what transpired.<\/p>\n

Mr William Amanzuru, the coordinator of Friends of Zoka also confirmed the summons, adding that he is facing charges of criminal trespass, arson, and malicious damage to property.<\/p>\n
