However, a few days after the peace agreement, fighting erupted between the Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) and Matheniko warriors, in Matheniko county, Moroto district. The army, on an exercise to recover stolen cattle, was ambushed at Nanduget sub county’s airstrip by the warriors who engaged the soldiers in a six-hour battle, the ‘New Vision’ reported on Friday. One soldier was reportedly injured and admitted to Moroto hospital. A UPDF official was quoted by the paper as saying that the warriors took advantage of the “peace deal” and raided Lotome, an area inhabited by the Bokora clan, killing four people and injuring many others.
