What do you think is the best strategy to resolve the current border conflict at Vurra Customs?
Background
A group of Congolese stormed the
border point at Vurra in Arua wanting to take over “No Man’s Land” by force
with utter disregard of the Ngurdoto agreement signed by Presidents Museveni
& Joseph Kabila which stipulates that as the border demarcation has yet to
be done, both parties should halt any further construction in the disputed area
until a joint technical verification is undertaken.
Last
week we run a poll asking you what you thought was at the heart of the conflict
at the DRC-Uganda border. Majority seemed to think it was due to
misunderstandings between the communities.
As the
conflict carries on and tensions run high, both parties continue to lose as the
border remains closed and the trade continues to be stalled.
Question
How do you think the current
border conflict at Vurra Customs should be resolved?
A. President Kabila
should hold his people accountable for violating the Ngurdoto Agreement and put
an end to this.
B. The
community leaders along the border point should hold their people in check.
C. Should be
handled by the security operatives of both countries, enforcing the Ngurdoto
Agreement.
