[Independent (Kampala)] President Yoweri Museveni has issued orders to evict all pastoralists (Bahima and Batutsi of Kinyankore and Kinyarwanda culture) from the Acholi region. These people, who are commonly referred to as Balalo, migrated to Acholi in search of land. Many of them sold their land, houses, and other assets in Western and Central Uganda, where land is scarce, and migrated to Acholi, where land is more abundant. In Acholi, they either bought or rented land from local people and settled there with their cows.
