On the night of April 2, 2022, infamous cattle rustlers from the Karimajong tribe shot and wounded two people in Omokori village in Kapelebyong district, but a couple survived with serious injuries. The as yet unidentified victims, a male and a female, have been admitted to Tororo Referral Hospital, where they are receiving treatment. To make matters worse, the same night armed bandits from the Karimajong tribe, reportedly from Kotido District, stole some two hundred head of cattle. On March 31, 2021, enraged residents of the same area stormed the RDC office, taking with them the body of Daniel Otai, who was killed by the cattle thieves. The event was a demonstration against what they described as the government's "laxity and slow response" to the wave of violence in the Karamoja region. These are just some of the tragic incidents that have occurred in the Karamoja region, in the districts of Abim, Katakwi, Pader, Kapelebyong and others, perpetrated by resurgent armed cattle thieves from the Karimajong tribe. Swift and effective government intervention is needed to end the chaos in the Karamoja region, which has claimed the lives of many residents. Security officials have not been spared either. The Karamoja issue has turned into a humanitarian crisis, with most residents fleeing their homes and seeking refuge in nearby mosques, churches and cinemas.
