Karamojong: “Pastoralism is our future”

The Karamoja Development Forum (KDF), a CELEP partner organisation based in Uganda, has issued a statement to the Ugandan Government in defence of the pastoralists’ rights to mobility. The statement “For Karamojong: Pastoralism is our future, not our past” was published in the newspaper New Vision on 27 May 2019. It was in response to an article in the Daily Monitor newspaper on the Government’s alleged plans to abolish mobile pastoralism in Uganda. CELEP and numerous other organisations and groups supported the statement with logos.
