The Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) has called for calm noting that the security situation in the Karamoja Sub-Region, is under control.

This follows continuous and sustained media reports claiming that the situation has deteriorated, and is almost out of hand, especially after the unfortunate death of three geologists from the ministry of energy, and two UPDF personnel which occurred on March 21, 2022, in Moroto district at the hands of Turkana warriors that entered Uganda in search for pastures.
