Evelyn Droru, one of the affected residents says that the floods were triggered by a two-day downpour received in the area. She further notes that access to schools have become a challenge for their children since all the connecting bridges in these areas are submerged.
Peter Taban Data, the Adjumani Resident District Commissioner Peter Taban Data explains that the move is to deter more people from entering in the disputed area to engage in illegal activities like charcoal burning and illegal lumbering which often incites conflict.
