This month, our discussion will focus on what should be done to build a sustainable disarmament strategy in Karamoja. The discussions should elucidate why the last gun has not been got out of Karamoja. We recognize that,  most of the Karimojong cattle rustlers have made their lives entirely dependent on cattle rustling. Whereas cattle rustling is a manifestation of the economic survival strategy, it is not acceptable to engage in acts that violate and deprive other people their property and lives. It is a reflection of how lawlessness has swallowed up the moral and legal ethical conduct.  Your talking points should have mention of what alternative livelihood strategies should be adopted by the cattle rustlers. What rehabilitation services (mental and physical) should be designed to disarm not only the gun at hand, but most importantly the gun in the the mind.Additionally, we should be able to analyze whether those people that gave out their guns in the earlier previous disarmament exercise have realized how illegal arms have devastated their lives or whether they just felt they had to return the guns as a government requirement and policy. We definitely want to see our people develop the conviction that disarmament is not just a government exercise but as roadmap towards development in the region.  If there is some level of dissatisfaction resulting from handing off the gun, suggest what should be done to make them feel that they disarmament is the right thing.

Welcome to KPDDN’s discussion page on peace building!

We are excited to see you here, and look forward to your view point. In this forum, there are no right or wrong viewpoints, but there are strong and weak view points that can eventually lead to strong and sustainable solutions or weak and non lasting solutions.  Many institutions and individuals in working in Karamoja, both government and non governmental do not like criticisms, but this forum provides you the opportunity to give  positive and constructive criticisms  where necessary because we are seeking lasting solutions. Therefore, do not be afraid to express your opinion

This month, our discussion in this area will focus on sustainable peacebulding within Karamoja. We know that peace building  is important is is a major threat to human security in the region. A lot of dialogues and peace talks have happened among almost all the ethnic groups in Karamoja, but nothing fruitful is there to show. Our discussion should include but not limited to:

1. Why, even within Karamoja fighting has never stopped.
2. Why past attempts for peace and dialogue keep collapsing
3. How best the Karimojong can craft their own peace
4. How Government can support peace initiatives
5. How NGO’s and other  civil society can support peace building in Karamoja
